TENDENCIES OF BREAD CONSUMPTION IN POLAND
Abstract. The pattern of consumption of bread and cereal products in countries of average
and low consumption that is in EU countries (15) and EU (12) is becoming similar. Despite
a kind of the uniformity of consumption, conditions on the market of bread cause the
appearance of differences in the consumption of bread among EU countries. The market of
bread in Poland is saturated, the overall consumption will not increase. There are changes
in the quality and the structure of consumed bread. In the coming years there may be
a stabilization of consumption of wheat bread and the increase of consumption of rye bread
at the expense of mixed bread. Diversity is a characteristic feature of the demand for bread.
It is seen on different levels: regional, place of residence, income size, the biological type
of households or membership in a particular socio-economic group.
Key words: trends, development, consumption, bread, household
