Poland – food industry
The largest V4 market is one of Europe's leading food exporters. Its supply chain, logistics and retail network are a gateway to the EU market – and a buyer of Central Asian raw materials.
The market
In 2025 Polish agri-food exports reached EUR 58.4 billion, with a sector surplus of EUR 19.8 billion. Three quarters of exports go to the EU – Germany first, then France and the Netherlands; outside the EU the United Kingdom, Ukraine and the US are the main buyers. Poultry and meat, dairy, chocolate and bakery are strong. In the first half of 2026 exports reached nearly EUR 29 billion (74% to the EU), with a surplus of EUR 9.6 billion (+7%). Food and beverage industry revenue hit a record EUR 107.4 billion in 2025.
Opportunities
For Central Asian suppliers: dried fruit, nuts and pulses, mung beans, fresh and processed fruit for Polish processors and traders. For Polish companies: food technology, packaging and branded products for Central Asia, where purchasing power is growing fast.
What to watch
EU food safety and labelling rules, phytosanitary certificates, consistent quality and delivery schedules – Polish buyers look for long-term, predictable suppliers.
