Increased Demand for Poultry Products Raising the Overall Animal Feed Consumption in Poland

The consumption of poultry products, especially chicken meat, is driving the demand for animal feed in Poland. According to the US Department of Agriculture, Poland accounted for an estimated 20% of the overall chicken meat consumption in the European Union (EU). This share is expected to increase owing to the rising globalisation trend and shift in the food consumption pattern of the Polish population, thereby raising the overall consumption of quality animal feed in the country.

Rising Poultry Exports Adding to the Poland Animal Feed Market Revenue

Poland is the largest exporter of poultry products globally, with European Union accounting for the majority share. In 2023, the country exported frozen whole chicken worth USD 158 million globally, increasing from USD 126 million in the previous year. The major share was accounted by Spain, France, and the Czech Republic. A further increase in these values is expected owing to the rising demand for poultry products in the region and Poland's proximity to major export markets.

Introduction of New GMO Feed Creating New Poland Animal Feed Market Opportunities

Increased use of genetically modified animal feed is creating new opportunities in the market. The country adopted GMO soybean as its primary animal feed years ago and since then has witnessed its rising cultivation by Polish farmers. Additionally, the government of Poland has postponed the ban on GMO animal feed until 2030, owing to production concerns. This move is expected to facilitate the introduction of new categories of GMO animal feed including corn and canola in the Poland animal feed market.
