Prime Minister Christian Mickoski addressed recent criticism regarding the state of agriculture, asserting that available data demonstrates noticeable improvements and a recovery from a significantly challenging agricultural environment. Speaking to journalists, Mickoski emphasized that the current trajectory represents a reversal from the difficult conditions inherited from the previous administration. He detailed several specific issues that, according to his statements, were left unresolved by the previous government.
These included outstanding wage payments at the “Water Supply” enterprise, accumulated environmental degradation, substantial difficulties in water provision for farming operations, and outstanding debts owed to farmers. Furthermore, he noted delays in the disbursement of direct payments dating back to the 2020–2021 period. Mickoski stated that efforts are underway to resolve these outstanding financial obligations.
He assured the public that the completion of these payments is imminent, noting that the ongoing rebalancing process is designed to cover all remaining payments due to both farmers and breeders. The Prime Minister’s remarks sought to contextualize the current performance, framing the observable positive changes as evidence of systemic recovery rather than contradicting the challenges that defined the previous period. His defense of the sector centered on the tangible progress being made in rectifying the operational and financial gaps that had previously hampered the agricultural sector’s stability.
