Progressing, though slow, concentration of cow rearing resulted in an increase in milk yield per cow. In 2003 an average annual milk yield per cow rose to 3 969 litres, i.e. by 67 litres against 2002. On the other hand, no increase was noted in the number of eggs per laying hen, which was 203 eggs annually against 208 eggs in 2002. To encourage interest in the quality of milk sold to dairy plants, payments to extra-grade milk have been made since 2002: - PLN 0.07 per litre in 2002, - PLN 0.04 per litre for Jan. – Apr. 2003, - PLN 0.07 per litre in 2003 and until the accession date, i.e. 1 May 2004. Resulting from these payments as well as growing requirements of the dairy industry, the share of extra grade milk constituted 81.4% of the total milk bought in and the number of extra grade milk suppliers accounted for 54% of the total suppliers in 2003. Following accession to the EU, Poland abandoned payments to extra-grade milk bought in and other support instruments for milk and meat processors not complying with the Common Agricultural Policy. Poland negotiated the following rights to animal production premiums: special beef premium - 926 000 head, slaughter premium for calves - 839 500 head, slaughter premium for adult cattle - 1 815 400 head, suckler cow premium - 325 500 head, extensification premium – 1 251 600 head, a national envelope to increase cattle premium levels – Euro 27.3 million, ewe premium - 335 800 head and Euro 355 000 to increase premiums for sheep. Other forms of support such as intervention, storage aid, export subsidies, milk and milk product consumption schemes at schools, subsidies to certain dairy products will be applicable based on the rules established by the European Commission. 22
Organic farming AGRICULTURE Food production by organic methods in the clean and safe environment, without mineral fertilisers and synthetic plant protection substances, free of antibiotics, growth hormones or genetically modified organisms is covered by the special official control and certification scheme. Such scheme is run in Poland by the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development who gives authorisation to certifying bodies, the Agriculture and Food Quality Inspection as the supervisory authority of the authorised certifying bodies, and to certifying bodies accredited at the Polish Accreditation Centre according to norm PN/EN 45011. In 2004 six authorised certifying authorities are responsible for control and certification of organic farming: • Polish Testing and Certification Centre, Office for Testing and Certification, Branch in Pi∏a, 64-920 Pi∏a, ul. Âniadeckich 5 • Organic Food Certification Unit PNG Sp. z o.o. in Zajàczkowo, 26-065 Piekoszów • BIOEKSPERT s.c., 02-120 Warszawa, ul. Grójecka 109 • AGRO BIO TEST Sp. z o.o., 02-787 Warszawa, ul.
