Agriculture is a great point overlooked in this chart.

EU puts a lot of money into this, and Poland being a great exporter for this, they also receives alot from EU to be able to do this.

Why are we doing it then, if it's a net negative? It's not, because we can all get our bread (literally) this way. And Poland farmers can make a living making the country richer.

All countries get agricultural subsidies and Poland is not one of the big ones. They sit on place 5 with all 4 before them production at least twice as much. (see here, page 10)
