Poland: Food Processing Ingredients Annual

Poland is one of the largest agri-food industry producers in Central and Eastern Europe. In 2024, companies operating within this sector exported goods valued at over $61 billion, an increase of over 2.7 percent compared to 2023. The food processing industry accounted for 6 percent of Poland's total $917 billion gross domestic product. Strong growth in the Polish food processing sector in 2024 was stimulated by internal demand and exports. The most important segments in terms of value were meat, dairy, beverage, confectionary, bakery, and horticultural processing. Poland's total 2025 imports of food and agricultural products were valued at over $48 billion, with U.S. imports accounting for $888 million. U.S. ingredients with strong sales potential include tree nuts, dried fruit, fish (salmon and pollock) and seafood, highly processed, and functional ingredients.
