It is a top-ten exporter of chicken (#3, 13% of world export value in 2024), eggs (#3, 8.2% of world export value in 2024), boron (#5, 1% of world export value in 2024), linseed (#5, 5.4% of world export value in 2024), logs (#5, 3.8% of world export value in 2024) and more.
Share of world production, 2024. Countries with no reported production are unshaded.
Poland's largest commodity exports by value. Each bar's share is that commodity's share of world trade in it, not its share of Poland's own exports — the two are unrelated and shown so a bar near 100% marks a commodity Poland dominates globally rather than one it merely exports a lot of.
Unlike the chart above, this treemap sizes each commodity by its share of Poland's own $18.7 billion of tracked exports, not by world trade. Chicken alone is 25% of it. See the full export dependency report for how Poland compares with other countries.

What Poland uses
Poland had about 39 million people and a food supply of 3,730 kilocalories per person a day in FAO's 2023 food balance sheets. Its eight largest supplies among the commodities tracked there:
Largest domestic supplies of tracked commodities in Poland, 2023
FAO reports a negative domestic supply for Poland's beef (−33 thousand tonnes; production 515 thousand tonnes, imports 48 thousand tonnes, exports 637 thousand tonnes), meaning exports exceed production plus imports in the year. These are not counted as use and are left out of the table above.
FAOSTAT Food Balance Sheets. Per-person rank counts countries of at least 1 million people. See consumption and self-sufficiency.
Who supplies Poland
Single-supplier markets. Poland buys half or more of its imports from one country in 6 of 23 import markets of $250 million or more, among them salmon from Norway (58%, $2.2 billion); coffee from Germany (56%, $634 million); sunflower oil from Ukraine (67%, $521 million); iron ore from Ukraine (94%, $513 million); copper from Brazil (99%, $509 million); urea from Russia (51%, $415 million).

A new largest supplier. crude oil: Russia (37% in 2022) to Saudi Arabia (45% in 2024). Supplier shifts.
How long Poland's own reserves would last
Silver: Poland's reserves are about 45 years of its own output at the current rate (5% of world output, 9.7% of world reserves), against 23 years for the world.
