Development of Food Industry in Poland and in the Opolskie Region:
The food industry is one of the most important areas and fastest growing sectors of the economy in
Poland. Through many years it became a true pulling force. Its share in total industry sales value of
nearly 24% and is about 9 percentage points higher than in the 15 European Union countries, where
an average of 15%.
Opolskie Region is a region with rich agricultural traditions. In addition to the chemical industry,
construction and energy, essential pillars of the region's economy are agriculture, food processing
and food industry. Opolskie Region in terms of natural resources used in the food industry
considering production sold per one employee, participation in the production of new products sold,
and employment achieved a high position in comparison to other provinces. This means that as a
region we are dealing with a very good competitive position among the Polish provinces.
The highest share of industrial production in the Opolskie Region is characterized by the food
industry (17 % of the total regional production sold). A particularly important role: processing of fruit
and vegetables (including plants in Opole Nutricia/Danone Group), production of dairy products (Zott
Poland in Opole, District Dairy Cooperative in Prudnik, Głubczyce), production of bakery,
confectionery and sugar confectionery (Confectionery Plant in Otmuchow, Sugars Nysa in Nysa, Kraft
Foods Poland – 2 factories in Skarbimierz, Nestle Poland in Namysłów), sugar production (in Polish
sugar Cerekiew) and others (Lesaffre Poland in Wołczyn). The rank of the food industry maintains
the largest number of employees (including almost 8000 employees) - the highest among all sectors
of manufacturing in the Opolskie Region.
Priority factors for the development of food industry in the Opolskie Region:
______________________________________________________________________

Increasing innovation.

Highly productive agriculture in the Opolskie Region:
Agriculture in Opolskie is one of the most
important of its potentials. Significant importance
of agriculture across the country and the
importance of this sector in the structure of the
region's economy, tends to treat agriculture as an
important and permanent component of regional
policy.
A great development potential characterize the
Region’s agriculture. Favorable terrain, climatic
conditions, soil quality, and high agriculture, may
impact on high agricultural productivity: in terms
of yields of cereals, oilseed rape and turnip rape
and sugar beet Opolskie is at the forefront of the
country. Grain yields are one of the highest in
Poland (49.0 dt / ha in 2009, compared to 34.8 dt /
ha in the country), also in terms of average annual
milk yield Region has been occupying the firs
position.
Areas with the highest value of agricultural
production are located in the southern and western parts of the Region. These are areas with very
favorable conditions and natural soil, which is the basis for intensive agricultural production and
based on the agri-food processing, and areas with significant recreation and tourism values (including
the District Opava Mountains, water Otmuchów, Nysa).
Promoting the idea to organize farmers into groups of agricultural producers will increase the
concentration of supply and enable the preparation of uniform batches of the product,
by adjuting technology to the requirements and expectations of the recipients.

Availability of EU funds:
The availability of EU funds not only means subsidizing infrastructure modernisation or vast regional
development plans, but also financial assistance for smaller initiatives and single companies. Within
the framework of various programmes, enterprises can also apply for R&D support grants,
environmental support grants as well as several educational and training funds. After joining the EU
in 2004, all new member countries received significant financial support in the form of structural and
cohesion funds. Many smaller states including Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic, which also
acceded to the EU in 2004, benefited, and were able to increase their GDP and income per capita
levels. As a result, their available portion of cohesion funds to be used as FDI incentives decreased.
However, Poland will continue to obtain considerable subsidies, and will be able to offer more to
potential investors than neighboring countries.
