In 2020, despite global milk market downturns due to the pandemic, Poland's dairy industry experienced similar revenues to 2019, with over EUR 2.1 billion in dairy product exports from January to November. The value of imports was nearly EUR 1 billion, leading to a positive trade balance of over EUR 1.1 billion. The majority of exports, 67%, were to the EU, although exports to the Commonwealth of Independent States and non-EU and CIS countries increased significantly. Cheese and cottage cheese were the dominant exports, accounting for 35% of the total.
