From the beginning of the past decade, Poland’s foreign trade turnover increased almost ten-fold. Poland exports processed fruit and vegetables, meat, dairy products, electromechanical products, vehicles, aircraft and vessels. Most of Poland's imports are capital goods needed for industrial retooling and for manufacturing inputs like machinery and transport equipment, chemicals, minerals, fuels and lubricants. European Union is by far its largest trading partner accounting for about 79% of exports and 64% of imports.

Latest Updates

Poland posted a trade deficit of €941 million in April 2025, a sharp reversal from the €745 million surplus recorded in the same month last year, marking the country’s 12th consecutive monthly deficit. Imports rose by 3.5% to €29.01 billion, reflecting a gradual economic recovery and robust demand for consumer goods, particularly semi-durable and non-durable items, as well as agricultural products. In contrast, exports declined by 2.4% to €28.07 billion, weighed down by the deteriorating conditions in the European automotive sector and intensifying competition within EU markets. The drop in foreign sales of investment goods, consumer products, and equipment significantly impacted overall export performance.
