The Polish dairy industry is leveraging low domestic dairy consumption for export growth, with preliminary data for 2020 showing a slight increase in dairy product exports, potentially reaching a value of around EUR 2.1-2.2 billion, which is about 30% of the total dairy market value. The exports are supported by the highest euro exchange rate values in the last decade. The primary export markets are European Union countries, accounting for 65-70% of the total export value, with Germany being the largest recipient. Other significant recipients include developing countries, the CIS, and Central and Eastern countries. The exports consist of various dairy products, with cheese being the largest export item.
