GUS: Poland to increase vegetable production by 17%

According to data forecasts released by Poland’s Central Statistical Office (GUS), Poland’s vegetable production in 2016 will reach 4.4 million metric tons, which means a 17 percent growth year-on-year. Polish farmers are expected to harvest more than 1 million tons of white cabbage (a 17 percent rise), 346,000 tons of table beets (17 percent), 346,000 tons of carrots (17 percent) and 630,000 tons of onions (15 percent) and 236,000 tons of cauliflower (18 percent rise). The market analysts connect a rise in Polish vegetable production with more favorable weather conditions this year.
