The new approach to WPR, based on Green Lad assumptions – as remembered -. the necessity of dedicating 4% of arable land to non-productive (fallow) in farms above 10 ha.
GAEC 8 – because about it speak – in principle never came in to life, because first temporarily derogated (due to war in Ukraine), and then – in the result of pression of farmers (loud protests not only in Poland, but in the whole EU) – has been replaced in new regulations, based on voluntariness. Incidentally according to multiple repeated by Janusz Wojciechowski, former already Commissioner of EU ds. agriculture with the slogan: “incentives, a not compulsion”.
And yes, farmers have now not obligated, a opportunity to use ecoschem: land excluded from production.
What is the effect?
Has the slogan: “incentives, a not compulsion” – affected some significantly farmers, if it is about growing land? What comes from the statement of counts?
How does come from data of ARiMR, in the previous financial perspective every year there were to single pay area about. 143 tys. hectares of ugors.
In year 2023 farmers declared to basic support income (former JPO) ugors of a area 125 tys. ha, in this as non-productive elements in the norm GAEC 8 was declared over 44.5 tys. ha. However, it is necessary to remember about the commission’s declaration in the year 2023, allowing declaration to payment of ugors with the law.
In the year 2024 farmers declared to basic income support (former JPO) ugors of a area of 143 tys.
ha, in this to ecoschem land excluded from production declared area 31.5 tys. ha.

On land excluded from production it is possible to obtain payment for other ekoschematy. What
Risk of error
Big changes therefore in principle – while what – is not visible. But also:
– character changes approach.to issues of ugors for such as. scheduling deadlines of performance or “transfers” of ugors between payments (requirements), derogation in the ugors no doubt may have affected decisions about the surfaces for ugoring. That is why the results of comparisons of individual periods will be subject to risk of error, which should be considered when conducting analysis and evaluating the impact of changes in the surface of declared ugors. Comparing only magnitudes without correction for the risk of error we will obtain results giving the basis for very general conclusions – comments for farmer.pl Bureau Press ARiMR.
So there will only data for
the current year (from applications for direct payments in campaign 2025) something more will tell us about this, how it affects
the decisions of farmers incentive to (assumed one more) grow land.
