Poland is the tenth largest importer of processed and canned tuna in the EU, with imports reaching 10,216 tons in 2019, an increase of 21% compared to 2017. The majority of these imports come from outside the EU, with the Philippines and Ecuador being the largest suppliers. The competitive pricing of canned tuna products from these countries, along with a 0% preferential tax rate, has contributed to the growth in imports. In contrast, imports from Germany and the Netherlands have declined due to higher tariffs. The Covid-19 pandemic is expected to further increase the demand for canned tuna in Europe, providing a significant opportunity for exporting countries.
