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. ~~Programs include funding~~ ARiMR has reported distributing over 8.5 billion PLN to more than 1.07 million farmers, with total payouts for ~~agricultural processing~~ 2025 expected to reach a record 36.3 billion PLN. To improve efficiency, the agency is utilizing the E-Wniosek Plus geospatial system and ~~marketing, alongside~~ 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 ~~increased to~~ of 1.5 billion PLN for farm ~~development and land acquisition. To mitigate rising production costs,~~ 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.

Depending on the scale of loss, farmers may receive~~ damage, providing between 1,000 and 3,000 PLN per ~~hectare, provided~~ hectare for losses ~~exceed~~ exceeding 30 percent. Applications for this compensation opened on October 22, 2026, subject to verification by assessment commissions. Additionally, funding is available for agricultural producer groups for food promotion, and technological advancement continues through ‘Agriculture 4.0’ projects. Amidst these initiatives, ARiMR has faced scrutiny regarding internal spending, specifically regarding approximately 155 million PLN paid in bonuses and allowances last year.
