Poland’s path towards sustainable pork production chain

Abstract

This paper analyzes the situation of the Polish pork production sector in the context of all stages of food distribution. As shown by available information, particular links of the pork supply chain changed significantly. This is true for both real (producer-processor-client) and instrumental aspects (including information transfer between sectors). The analysis also identified two worrying developments. The first one is related to the pig production structure (the decreasing number of farms does not result in a considerable increase in the production volume per farm). The other one is related to competitiveness: in Poland, the seemingly strong concentration of operators at slaughter and meat processing stages is still insufficient to face the competitive power of foreign businesses active in the increasingly liberalized agri-food market, both inside and outside the EU.
