Poland Import & Export Services
Today transport in Poland is provided by means of rail, road, shipping and air travel. Positioned in Central Europe and with an eastern border compromising the largest external border of the Schengen Area with the rest of Eastern Europe, Poland has long been, and remains a key country through which imports to and exports from the European Union pass.
In 2010, Poland exported goods to the value of $160.1 billion (machinery and transport equipment 43.2%, manufactured goods classified chiefly by material 19.5%, miscellaneous manufactured articles 13.3%, food and live animals 9.5%, chemicals and related products 7.8%) with the main export partners being Germany 26.1%, France 6.9%, Italy 6.9%, United Kingdom 6.4%, Czech Republic 5.8% & Netherlands 4.2% (2009).

Poland is a net exporter of processed fruit and vegetables, meat, and dairy products. Processors often rely on imports to supplement domestic supplies of wheat, feed grains, vegetable oil, and protein meals, which are generally insufficient to meet domestic demand. However, Poland is the leading EU producer of potatoes and rye and is one of the world's largest producers of sugar beets and triticale. Poland also is a significant producer of rapeseed, grains, hogs, and cattle. Most of Poland's imports are capital goods needed for industrial retooling and for manufacturing inputs, rather than imports for consumption.
