Polish poultry meat exports reached 877,000 metric tons in 2016, a 24% increase compared to 2015, according to analysts from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), which expect the export growth to continue further in 2017 due to expanding demand from intra-EU and Asian markets.

The rise in Poland's poultry meat exports expected to continue

The USDA analysts say however that in 2016, in terms of value, the Polish poultry meat reached 15%, at 1.54 billion dollars, reflecting a price decline. Furthermore, in the same year, some 30% of Poland's poultry meat production was destined for export.

Major markets for the Polish poultry meat within the EU are United Kingdom, Germany, France, the Netherlands, and the Czech Republic. Hong Kong, China, and Ukraine are the main markets outside of the EU.

The Polish poultry industry is highly integrated and export-oriented. Although the majority of exports are directed to the internal EU market, the industry and GOP is trying to open new market opportunities, including US market access.

Imports of poultry meat mostly consist of chicken and turkey cuts from Germany, Slovakia, and the UK. 2016 imports were valued at about $95 million, a 20-percent increase over 2015 because of higher frozen chicken-cut imports from Germany and Slovakia.
