ABSTRACT

The European Union member states are main trading partners of Poland. They accounted for over half (51.6%) of the turnover in farm and food trade in 2003. The main partners on the export side are: Germany, Netherlands, Great Britain and Italy; and on the import side are Germany, Netherlands, Spain and Italy. Trade in farm and food goods with the European Union was favourable for Poland for the first time since 1993. The trade balance in 2003 closed with a surplus of 218 mln USD. A positive trade balance also occurred in 2004. Poland has gained trade advantages in the food sector after integration with the EU.

Key words: agricultural trade, agro-food products, products’ structure, trade agreements with the European Union.
