Poland, the EU's third-largest carrot producer, has seen a significant drop in carrot production due to droughts caused by climate change.

This has led to a decrease in carrot production from 827,000 tons in 2017 to 580,000 tons in 2023, a nearly 30% drop in six years.

As a result, Poland has had to import carrots, primarily from Germany, with carrot imports to the country increasing by 60% in 2023.
