Poland Agribusiness Report Q1 2015 - New Market Study Published

Polish meat producers remain in a challenging situation due to import bans imposed by several states on Polish pork and by Russia on agricultural produce from all EU member states. Although pork producers are facing the greatest pressure, we believe they have the potential to bounce back more quickly thanks to a strong base of domestic demand supplemented by growing export opportunities. Dairy producers are also suffering blowback from the embargo although a more general fall in prices is a bigger concern. We expect 2015 to be a difficult year, but the longer term outlook is more promising as we expect prices to recover and demand for processed dairy products to increase. Sugar production looks to have stalled after 2012/13's recovery and we are no longer so positive about the capacity of the industry to compete post liberalisation as yields have remained stubbornly low.

Key Forecasts

* Wheat production growth to 2017/18: 14.2 % to 9.8mn tonnes. Expansion in output will be relatively sluggish as this growth comes from a low base. Low global prices will limit export potential.
* Pork consumption growth to 2018 : 3 .2% to 1.7mn tonnes. Demand will have a brief spurt in the short term due to a supply glut before returning to marginal year-on-year (y-o-y) declines in the later years of the forecast period.
* 2015 real GDP growth: 3.1 % (up from an estimated 2.8% in 2014; forecast to grow by 3.1% in 2015 and by an average of 3.3% annually 2014-2018).
* Consumer price inflation: 0.9 % y-o-y on average for 201 5 (up from 0.4% y-o-y estimated for 2014).
* BMI universe agribusiness market value: 2.0 % y-o-y decrease to USD1 8.3 bn in 2015, forecast to increase 1.4% annually on average between 2014 and 2018.
