A characteristic feature of Polish foreign trade in agri-food products is a bigger share of food industry products in exports than in imports and the reverse situation for agricultural products. In 2003 the share of processed products was 81.4% in exports and 65.7% in imports. In 1990 the situation was different as foodstuffs constituted 65% of total agri-food exports and almost 80% of imports. Thanks to the development of the Polish agri-food industry, product improvement and exquisite taste, exports of processed products, which are more favourable for the economy, have been systematically rising. 56
NATIONAL SUPPORT INSTRUMENTS So far mechanisms regulating agriculture in Poland have combined market instruments with state intervention. Aid was provided to agriculture primarily through national budget subsidies. Despite numerous agriculture support instruments, aid received by Polish agricultural producers in the previous years remained at a much lower level than in other countries. According to OECD, the Producer Subsidy Equivalent (PSE) for agricultural producers, showing the percentage share of all forms of subsidies in the final production value, was one of the lowest in the world.
