The introduction of the euro, providing support not only to foreign but also domestic investors in Poland, and counteracting protectionist practices in the European Union are the most important actions and decisions expected by Polish business from politicians – such voices were given during the debate on the situation of Polish exporters.
“Poland is conquering the world not only with fruit and vegetables. We are a leader in the export of windows, silver, and even coffee and tea. Poland is also the fourth exporter of furniture in the world,” the organizers of the debate, whose patron was the Port of Gdańsk, emphasized.
"If we look at the statistics of goods passing through the port in Gdańsk, our data indicate an increase in the value of exports by about 40 percent in the last five years,” Łukasz Greinke, President of the Port of Gdańsk Authority, said.
According to him, the fact that growing exports are already a constant tendency is evidenced by the investments of Polish companies in the terminals in the Gdańsk port – such projects are carried out, among others, by Krajowa Spółka Cukrowa (intending to export 300,000 tonnes of sugar annually), Anwil from Włocławek (which launches a production line dedicated to exports), Cedrob (building a terminal for 30,000 pallet places) and Kronospan (exporting fibreboards).
