Real Solutions Instead of Self-Sufficiency for Slovak Agriculture

Monika Budzak and INESS/November 11, 2020November 11, 2020 /Leave a comment

The Slovak agricultural sector suffers from several problems that hinder the competitiveness of farmers: complicated land ownership, due to which (young) farmers cannot access fields, an unpredictable business environment and bureaucracy and, last but not least, lack of investment in capital equipment.

LFMI and More Liberal Voices/November 27, 2019November 27, 2019 /Leave a comment

The European Commission proposes an extension of price reporting for most agricultural products in all its variety for all economic actors of the value chain on weekly and monthly bases.

Land Consolidation in Slovakia: Chance for Real Reform

Monika Budzak and INESS/May 22, 2019May 27, 2019 /Leave a comment

Crumbled and scattered parcels, inaccessible fields, frauds with farming subsidies, and problems with floods and droughts – this is the reality of Slovak agriculture. Extreme fragmentation makes it impossible to use land efficiently.

Brainless Slovak Economic Policy: Food Tax

Jan Oravec and F.A. Hayek Foundation/January 26, 2019January 18, 2019 /Leave a comment

Examples of senseless Slovak economic policy that combines financial and bureaucratic blows always aimed at a different sector of the economy are thick on the ground. One of the most memorable ones is the imposed levy on singular shops and chains, also known as “food tax”.

Slovak Farmers Are Entrepreneurs

Martin Vlachynsky and INESS/May 22, 2018 /Leave a comment

Do not be fooled by the vast yellow fields of rapeseed in Slovakia. The agricultural sector is a zombie, living on subsidies instead of fresh brains. There are a few exceptions (like the successful tomato growers), but the overall numbers are harsh.

Germany’s Smart Farm: Digital Technology in Agriculture

Christine Frohn and Liberales Institut/May 1, 2018 /1 Comment

Germany’s greatest innovations are found not on the autobahn, but on the country’s fields and farms: self-driving high-tech tractors, milking robots, and feeding machines are already standard equipment for many farmers. Smart Farming is the future of agriculture.

Restricting Free Competition: How Law and Justice Reinstates Socialism in Poland

Blazej Lenkowski and Liberte/April 4, 2017August 7, 2017 /1 Comment

Law and Justice seems to be going for neither the Anglo-Saxon, nor the Scandinavian solutions, nor any other type known from the Western market economies, but it instead, step by step, brings Poland back to the socialist system, enabling at the same time the emergence of a lobbying paradise.

Slovakian Land Acquisition Ban Is a Joke

Martin Vlachynsky/September 14, 2015August 29, 2017 /Leave a comment

Riding on the wave of historical fear, Slovak government quickly came up with a new protective law. In general, it forbids any agricultural landowner to sell land (2000 square meters and more) freely to just anyone. The willing seller has to actively search for an interested local farmer and offer him the land for “usual” price first.
