About 65% of the Polish production was earmarked for the domestic market, while the remaining 35%, or 279,000t, was intended for export sales. The European Union is currently the largest market for Poland’s poultry. Turkey meat accounts for about 15% of the country’s total poultry production.
In the second half of 2013, the report forecasts that Poland’s poultry production will increase further by 7% compared with the same period last year. For the first half of 2014, the forecast is a 7.5% increase in the country’s poultry production which is expected to reach about 850,000t.
The rise in poultry consumption in Poland is accompanied by a continuing decline in pork consumption which still remains the country’s most popular meat.
