A recent USDA GAIN report has highlighted a distinct trend in dairy and beef cow herd numbers between Western and Central Europe.

Poland, in particular, is experiencing a boost in its cattle farming sector, with a growing dairy herd and a thriving beef sector, thanks to increased demand and imports of cattle from neighboring countries.

The report also underscores the sector's tendency towards commercialization and efficiency improvement.

This difference is mainly caused by the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) of the EU. In most western EU Member States, the farmer’s income is pre-dominantly based on the farmed hectares. While in Central Europe, CAP support is provided specifically to small cattle farmers. The economic and policy climate for cattle farming is particularly positive in Poland. The Polish dairy sector is restructuring and further building its dairy herd, phasing out the less efficient and older cows. While the Polish beef sector is benefitting from the increased beef prices, and the improving demand in EU as well as non-EU markets. To fulfil this demand, the sector is ...
