Poland no. 1 in poultry production in EU

Poland has become the biggest poultry meat producer in the EU. In 2014, the production of poultry meat reached a historic high of nearly 2.1 million tons. According to Łukasz Dominiak from National Poultry Council, growing exports and domestic demand buoyed the production. As much as 80 percent of Polish poultry meat is exported to the EU. Additionally, an average Pole consumes 4 kilograms of poultry more than an average EU citizen. In 2014, the consumption of poultry stood at 27 kilograms in Poland. National Poultry Council expects that the figure will grow by 0.2 kilograms.
