Building a strong Polish economy is very important to the government
gratifying when a Polish entrepreneur takes over premises from a Western European supermarket chain
The Prime Minister visited the JAN Shopping Centre in Brzeszcze
This shop sells Polish products from regional producers and farmers
we see the shortening of the journey from field to table in practice
Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki visited Brzeszcze
It has been opened in a premises taken over from a Western European chain
we are constantly confronted with the enormous power of international discount stores and supermarkets
It is a great achievement that Polish entrepreneurs are able to win the market and customers running such a shop
A Polish entrepreneur took over the place after that shop
So we have this kind of local repolonisation
which is particularly pleasing because it shows that Polish capital
Polish entrepreneurs and Polish entrepreneurship can also start to take over those who previously dominated Polish trade,&rdquo; said the Polish Prime Minister
Shortening the route of transporting produce from field to table as much as possible is one of the government&rsquo;s objectives
and the entire profit goes to the Polish farmer
One of the assumptions is the future introduction of a &lsquo;local shelf&rsquo; - regional products in your shop
Shortening the transport route of the products as much as possible benefits regional producers financially
&ldquo;Our &lsquo;local shelf&rsquo; programme is put into practice here on these shelves around me
Goods are being taken directly to the shelves from local farmers and fruit growers
what we often say &ndash; shortening the journey from field to table &ndash; is becoming a reality
It is simply an everyday practice,&rdquo; Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki stressed
