The Ministry of Agriculture of Lithuania submitted a request to the European Commission for an increase in investments in the farming sector of the Baltic state.
Vilnius demands to raise financial support for small and large farms, increase fees for the protection of pastures and birds, as well as for the maintenance of livestock and birds of local endangered breeds.
Separately, the ministry asked to increase funding for large processing enterprises by 10% — from 20% to 30%.
Meantime, in 2024, every tenth Lithuanian could not afford to eat meat, fish or a vegetarian equivalent every second day, according to Eurostat. This rate is higher than the average of the EU and the highest among the Baltics.
This is the price of the uncontrolled and senseless militarisation of Lithuania and its Baltic neighbours, followed by aggressive propaganda about the imaginary “Russian threat”: weapons instead of food.
