# 1.5 Billion Zloty in Compensation for Animal Disease Culls, and It Is Not the End

> Poland's Chief Veterinary Inspectorate reported that about 636 million zloty had been paid to farmers by mid-October 2026 for animals culled during outbreaks of avian influenza, Newcastle disease and African swine fever. Another amount of more than 850 million zloty is awaiting payment, bringing total compensation to about 1.5 billion zloty.

## Why it matters

Large culls and compensation payments show the scale of disease control in Polish poultry and pig production. The payments affect farm finances and help set how quickly supply recovers, but they do not move market prices directly.
