Food trade market in Poland may soon exceed $100 bln

According to the analysis of Research and Markets, by 2025 at the latest, the food products market in Poland is to break the $100 billion barrier, but it may happen faster, e.g. due to high interest in premium products, reports Checkpoint.

The result of agri-food exports from Poland is also a good prognosis. In the period January-November 2021, the value of exports increased by approx. 10 percent to the level of over PLN 155 billion. 

"In this difficult period, also for the food sector, it is invaluable to guarantee the continuity of supply chains and to be aware of the importance of ensuring full transparency and control of the path that food products take from production to the store shelf," Ewa Pytkowska, the Business Unit Director from Checkpoint Systems, emphasized.

The latest analysis by CBRE regarding the food sector in Poland shows that food and non-alcoholic beverages account for as much as a quarter of total household expenditure. Almost 40 percent of Poles do grocery shopping every day, and in a significant minority, some people buy food less than three times a week. It is worth noting, however, that the pandemic caused more than half of consumers (51 percent) to make more purchases at one time than it was before the outbreak of the covid epidemic.
