Iceberg lettuce (sałata lodowa) was priced at €1.05–1.63 per piece (4.5–7 PLN/piece), and butterhead lettuce (sałata masłowa) traded at €0.52–0.93 per piece (2.25–4 PLN/piece). Imported lettuce mixes were offered at €5.58–6.51 per kg (24–28 PLN/kg).

Supply of lettuce is robust, with most product on the market coming from Polish open-field production. High summer temperatures and frequent irrigation in main production regions have supported ongoing harvest and consistent quality. There are no reports of significant disruptions to supply or reductions in area.

Demand for fresh lettuce remains steady, with both retail and foodservice sectors active in procurement. The presence of imported lettuce mixes indicates stable interest in premium and convenience products, supplementing domestic supply.

No major export activity for lettuce is reported at this time, as the majority of Polish-grown lettuce is directed to the domestic market. Imports are focused on specialty mixes rather than standard head lettuce.

Weather conditions in July and early August have been favourable for lettuce cultivation, with adequate rainfall and manageable heat stress in most regions. This has helped maintain consistent yields and product availability at wholesale markets.
