Despite EU transport facilitation, pandemic damaging Polish food exports

In the first two months of 2020, exports of beverages and tobacco increased by 11.1 percent, while food and livestock increased by 5.8 percent. This upward trend that has been going on for a decade has been interrupted by the outbreak of a coronavirus pandemic. Lower demand due to gastronomy closing and shopping restrictions has affected production surpluses. On the other hand, it is not known how shortage of seasonal workers will affect this year's harvest.
