Food exports hit record €21 billion in 2014

In spite of Russian embargo, Polish food producers managed to export their goods worth more than €21 billion, according to Polish daily Dziennik Gazeta Prawna. Polish companies sold abroad produce and foodstuffs worth €19.6 billion in the first 11 months of 2014, an increase by 4.5 percent year-on-year, according to the Ministry of Economy. The experts quoted by the newspaper have no doubt that the growth dynamic was similar in December, hence food exports hit record €21 billion in 2014. Germany was the biggest importer of Polish food (€4.4 billion), followed by the UK (€1.5 billion), France (€1.3 billion), Czech (€1.2 billion) and Italy (€1.0 billion).
