Polish agricultural funding and monitoring initiatives

Overview

The Polish agricultural sector continues to navigate various support and monitoring initiatives managed by the Agency for Restructuring and Modernisation of Agriculture (ARiMR). To ensure the integrity of direct payments and eco-schemes for the 2026 campaign, ARiMR announced plans to inspect approximately 64,500 farms, with over 60,000 utilizing the ‘FOTO method’ involving digital imagery and drones. Oversight rules have been updated to exempt farmers reporting less than 10 hectares of qualifying area from conditionality inspections and administrative penalties.

Financial support remains a central focus. ARiMR has reported distributing over 8.5 billion PLN to more than 1.07 million farmers, with total payouts for 2025 expected to reach a record 36.3 billion PLN. To improve efficiency, the agency is utilizing the E-Wniosek Plus geospatial system and the Area Monitoring System (AMS), which employs Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 satellites to monitor crop status and land area. This satellite technology allows farmers to correct declaration discrepancies without facing sanctions.

To mitigate rising costs and debt, programs include a preferential loan pool of 1.5 billion PLN for farm development, alongside a new NP4 loan line offering up to 3 million PLN at a 2 percent interest rate to help indebted farmers settle civil law obligations. While subsidies for mineral fertilizers and diesel fuel are available, the application process faced technical hurdles; ARiMR extended helpline hours to resolve Farmer Portal issues involving SMS authentication and attachment processing. Additionally, new aid measures address weather-related crop damage, providing between 1,000 and 3,000 PLN per hectare for losses exceeding 30 percent.
