Exports of Polish agricultural and food products grew by 19.5% YoY between January and April, reaching a value of EUR 14.0 billion, the National Support Centre for Agriculture (KOWR) reported.
Poland exported most of its produce, 75%, to other EU countries in the first four months of the year. The value of shipments to the EU reached EUR 10.4 billion, up by 25.5%.
Non-EU countries imported Polish agricultural goods to the value of EUR 3.5 billion in the same period, up by 5%.
Polish agricultural and food exports were dominated by poultry and bakery products while animal feed, chocolate products and beef came next.
“The increase in revenues from the export of agri-food products was largely due to high prices on the international market, caused by global inflation factors, and the favorable zloty against the euro exchange rate for exporters,” Marcin Wronski, a KOWR deputy head, said on June 22.
Last year, exports of Polish food and agricultural goods reached a record-high value of EUR 37 billion and were up by EUR 3 billion on 2020. (The First News/Business World Magazine)
