Assistance for Ukraine
“I am looking forward to joint actions which will contribute to an efficient course of this process without detriment to Polish farmers and the Polish internal market,” Deputy Minister Ryszard Bartosik stressed.
At the same time, the Secretary of State pointed out the scale of Polish support given to Ukraine at different levels since the outbreak of the war.
Access to the U.S. market
The meeting with the U.S. diplomat also provided an opportunity for putting forth again the Polish proposals concerning the access to the U.S. market, among others, for Polish apples, tobacco and beef.
Trade in agri-food products
The USA is one of Poland’s most important partners in the agri-food trade.
In 2022, our exports to the USA reached a record value of EUR 770 million. For several years now Polish chocolate, cocoa-containing products, pork, fish filets and other fish products have enjoyed the highest popularity on the U.S. market.
