Poland hopes to boost export of agri-food products to UK after Brexit

Poland wants to maintain the growing importance of the UK as an export market for its agri-food products despite Brexit. Although foreign trade suffered from disruption caused by the pandemic, in the first nine months of 2020 the value of Polish agri-food exports to the UK rose to EUR 1.9 billion. "Despite the pandemic, it was an increase of [an annual] 6 percent," Ryszard Bartosik, the deputy agriculture mminister, said at a press conference.
