Last year, Polish exports to Canada stood at PLN 6.59 billion, whereas Canada exported goods valued at PLN 752 million. Mainly, Polish goods included machinery, electrical equipment, aviation products, furniture and fur, while Canada exported machinery, raw materials and fuel, and medical & surgical instruments.
