Poland Agribusiness Sector Report 2025/26

Poland Agribusiness Sector Report 2025-2026 Overview

• • Sector Overview and Outlook

    Poland is one of the EU’s largest  agrifood suppliers, leveraging export competitiveness in poultry, cereals, and processed foods. The report’s opening section offers a summary of takeaways, focusing on performance, entry modes, segment opportunities, regulation, and the value chain.

  • Drivers and Constraints

    A detailed dive into the sector’s strengths such as high productivity, strong external demand, and EU-backed modernisation funding, balanced out by a study of challenges including climate volatility, input cost inflation, and tight monetary policy. Productivity and export strength continue to offset climatic and cost shocks, but resilience increasingly depends on innovation and adaptation to environmental rules.

  • Detailed Coverage of Sector Performance and Competitive Landscape

    A focused analysis of economic performance, regional positioning, production, consumption, agriculture prices, external trade and employment. Other highlights in this section include the financial performance of top sector players, a table of recent M&A activity, and a long list of main events. The competitive landscape is polarised, with small farms still dominate numerically, but a small group of vertically integrated exporters capture most value creation and drive sectoral innovation.

  • An Extensive Overview of the Regulatory Environment

    Includes not only main bodies and national and supranational policies, but also recent developments like Poland’s national stance on the EU-Mercosur trade agreement. CAP funds are being offset by mounting compliance costs and environmental restrictions that challenge smaller farms.

  • Subsector Chapters on Crops and Livestock & Fisheries

    A deep dive into sown area, production, external trade and the prospects of segments such as cereals, industrial crops (potatoes and sugar amongst others), fruit, vegetables, poultry, pork, and beef.  Poland’s crop and livestock sectors tell a story of resilience and reinvention with high-tech farms boosting yields and exports even as shifting weather, input costs, and new environmental rules reshape the landscape. From precision-grown cereals and sugar beet to world-leading poultry production and an evolving fisheries base, the report reveals how Polish agribusiness is redefining competitiveness within Europe’s changing food economy.
