Poland: Exporter Guide

Poland is Central and Eastern Europe’s largest market for food and beverage products. With a population of nearly 38 million people, Poland is a large and growing market for U.S. food and agricultural products. In 2022, Poland’s economy was slowly returning to pre-pandemic levels. When Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, it sent shock waves through the Polish economy. The subsequent imposition of sanctions by the European Union (EU) and Poland on Russia and Belarus and the disruption in trade, have contributed to sharp increases in energy, fuel, and food prices; these factors also affected Poland’s economy throughout 2023. Poland’s total 2022 imports of food, agricultural, and related products were valued at over $39 billion, with U.S. imports accounting for $585 million. U.S. products with strong sales potential include fish, seafood, tree nuts, distilled spirits, wine, dried fruit, and innovative food ingredient products.
