As for Poland, at the beginning of February 2021, WAPA estimated Polish pear stocks at 9,000 tonnes. A month earlier it was 26,000 tonnes. This means a "descent" in January of 17,000 tonnes. Thus, the stock decreased in January 2020 by 65,4 per cent.

A year earlier, as of 01.02.2020, the stock of Polish pears was 1,000 tonnes. This means a year-on-year increase of 8,000 tonnes, or 800.0 per cent.
