Food exports hit record high

Despite the Russian embargo on food imports, Poland is likely to sell foods for a record €25 billion, said Marek Sawicki, the Minister of Agriculture. The value of exported food stood at €9.3 billion as of end-May 2015, an increase of €480 million y/y (by 5.5 percent). The Russian embargo was introduced in 2014 as backlash to EU sanctions.
