Today our members are in Brussels for the #NAT Commission meeting. Kępno Mayor Piotr Psikus will share experiences on rural development.
RT @EU_CoR: The #NAT Commission meets today to debate
"Young rural residents, despite very good conditions (loans for purchase of agricultural equipment, subsidies for agricultural production, fuel, & crop insurance costs, etc.) do not want to work in agriculture - the vast majority of them are looking for work in other industries"
"The pandemic & then war in Ukraine is having huge consequences on agricultural sector. Gas prices have increased dramatically, almost fourfold. The fertilizer sector was most strongly affected. All this has a tremendous impact on quantity & quality of production"
-Mayor Psikus
