Morawiecki said that some villages whose residents worked for such farms “were doomed to oblivion and poverty" under previous governments in the 1990s and 2000s.
He added: "From next year, we are starting a support programme for villages in which there were state-owned farms. It is important to level the playing field for all residents of those villages that were painfully hit by the injustice” of Poland’s rapid transformation to a free market economy after the collapse of communism in 1989.
Morawiecki was speaking during a harvest festival on Sunday.
He thanked farmers for their work and praised them for cultivating Polish traditions.
