Tridge summary

The European Commission has decided to ban cage farming for various animals by 2023, leading to concerns among Polish politicians and farmers about losing export and internal market competition, particularly from Germany and Ukraine. Polish politicians and farmers worry that the ban will force them to stop investing in cage farming and adopt more expensive farming methods, potentially pushing Polish agriculture out of the market.

The Polish politicians and farmers are calling for unification in protest against these plans.
