Poland leads in poultry production

Production of poultry meat in Poland totaled around 2 million metric tons in 2014. “This result puts us in the leading position among EU producers,” Łukasz Dominiak from National Poultry Council pointed out in an interview for Polish Radio. Dominiak believes that production volume will exceed 2 million tons this year and make Poland the clear leader in the EU. As growth rates reached several percentage points in certain sectors, he finds prospects for the industry very optimistic. Institute of Agricultural and Food Economics estimates that consumption of poultry in Poland per capita amounted to 26.9 kilograms last year and will total to 27 kilograms this year.
