Potato imports to Poland - Germany the main supplier

2021-06-29 11:31
 How will Poland's potato imports evolve between 2011 and 2020, according to the CSO?
 
CSO data show that over the last ten years Poland's imports of fresh potatoes (CN 070190 - Potatoes, fresh or chilled excluding seed potatoes) have fluctuated considerably in terms of quantity and value. These fluctuations were of course to a large extent correlated with the level of potato harvest in a given year - both in Poland and in the countries supplying this vegetable.

As can be seen in the charts above, showing the import of potatoes by volume and value, the record year was 2019, when 263.9 thousand tonnes of potatoes were imported to Poland for 377.6 million PLN. The second highest result was in 2011: 223.3 thousand tonnes for PLN 263.6 million. The year 2020 has the third highest result in this classification: 184.1 thousand tonnes for PLN 211.3 million. The lowest import of potatoes in terms of quantity was in 2013 and it was 88.7 thousand tonnes, and in terms of value in 2012 and it was 104.6 million PLN.
 
In terms of volume, the result in 2020 was 108 percent higher than the lowest import in 2013 and 30 percent lower than the highest in 2019. In terms of value, the result in 2020 was 102 percent higher than the lowest in 2012 and was 44 percent lower than the highest in 2019.
 
In terms of volume, Germany absolutely dominated the supply of fresh potatoes to Poland in the decade under review. In volume terms, they were overtaken by Spain only once, in 2012. In 2020 imports from Germany amounted to 57.6 thousand tonnes (31 percent of all Polish imports in this category) and 50.3 million PLN (24 percent of total imports). In second place by volume was the Netherlands (27.2 thousand tonnes) and in third place was Greece (23.0 thousand tonnes). In terms of value, Greece was second (PLN 30.5 million) and Spain third (PLN 30.4 million).
 
In addition to Germany, the Netherlands, Greece and Spain, the top ten suppliers in this category were: France, the UK, Belgium, Sweden, Italy and Cyprus. However, Sweden, as a supplier of potatoes to Poland, only appeared in this list in 2019!
