Poland imported €8.16 billion of goods in the customs headings matched to miscellaneous food products in 2025 (Eurostat Comext, HS 1905, 1806, 2106, 1804, 1901 and 19 more headings; all buyers, not only public ones), up 43.6% from 2023.

  • Since November 2023, 483 companies have won 3,416 public supply contracts for miscellaneous food products in Poland, in 1,176 award notices from 303 public buyers.
  • 99.9% of these awards went to companies registered in Poland; the most frequent foreign origin is Hungary.

In proportion

All public purchasing in Poland — general government spending on goods, services and investment, the measure the OECD and the European Commission use for public procurement — came to €133 billion in 2025, 14.4% of GDP (Eurostat). Award notices on TED cover only the contracts above the EU thresholds, so they show who wins, not the whole of that spending.
