On Monday morning, Agrounia blocked the entrance to the Anwil factory in Włocławek. It’s a fertilizer company. It is precisely against the rising prices of fertilizers that farmers are protesting.

As the leader of Agrounia emphasized in the morning, the company in front of which the farmers came was not chosen by chance. Anwil, whose plants are located in Włocławek, is a fertilizer company. It is part of PKN Orlen. Farmers, however, suffer from high fertilizer prices.
As we have already informed in Business Insider Polska, visits to grocery stores next year may significantly reduce our wallets. According to economists, for the inevitable increases in food prices will be responsible, inter alia, rising gas prices, hitting the fertilizer market and food processors.
As Agrounia’s leader, Michał Kołodziejczak, said in his speech to the gathered, “the political class humiliates farmers”, because fertilizer prices are even five times higher today than a month ago.
– Law and Justice is not a representative of the Polish countryside. Jarosław Kaczyński lied to us, saying on Saturday that PiS represents the Polish countryside – said Michał Kołodziejczak during the press conference. He thus referred to the conference during which PiS presented its program for farmers.
– A farmer will be able to sell a lot of his products directly – up to 100 thousand. PLN per year excluding tax; in communes there will be an obligation to create appropriate marketplaces – Jarosław Kaczyński promised.
The leader of Agrounia said, however, that the policy of the Law and Justice party leads to the fact that the Polish countryside will become an open-air museum.
– It is killing agriculture and access to food. Something that Agrounia has been talking about for three years is materializing. The symbolic blockade is to show that farmers will not be passive. The outrageously high prices imposed by state-owned companies show that our country does not exist, he continued.
Together with farmers from Agrounia in Włocławek they protested, among others Self-Defense activists.
