Monika Budzak and INESS/June 29, 2022

Food Prices Will Be Decisive for Slovakia

Martin Vlachynsky and INESS/December 23, 2021December 22, 2021 /Leave a comment

Rising consumer prices have become an important issue both in the world and in Slovakia. Although with the current single-digit growth, consumers of the 1970s would have laughed us out, it is good that we are talking about this topic out loud. Perhaps it will help us avoid much bigger problems.

REVIEW #15: Polish Agricultural Autarky: Plow Subsidies In!

4liberty.eu/October 21, 2021October 22, 2021 /Leave a comment

Throughout our history, autarky has been an attractive idea for many, and while today’s public debate rarely includes a call to shut down the country and build a self-sufficient utopia, we may occasionally come across attempts to set up parts of the economy independent of external partners.

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.

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.
