Tridge summary

Poland is one of the leading honey producers in the EU, with a 9% share of the total production. The increase in honey production is largely due to an increase in the honeybee population, which has grown by 50% since 2009. The development of beekeeping in Poland is credited to the National Apiculture Support Programs, which are co-funded by the national and EU budgets. These programs have supported the organization of training, purchase of bees and equipment, and quality analysis of honey. The well-functioning union structures of beekeepers have also contributed to the sector's development. Polish honey is seen as a healthy dietary product and is used in the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries. Producers are encouraged to label their honey as a 'Polish Product' to support the local beekeeping industry.
