part in a staged market entry programme since Q1 2014.

target has been to add £500m of value to the UK economy through government
assistance of up to 1,000 UK FOOD AND DRINK COMPANIES with their
international growth by October 2015.
According to HMRC Poland is the 2ND FASTEST GROWING EXPORT
MARKET in the EU top 10 for British Food and Drink (non-alcoholic) products
and 11TH LARGEST WORLDWIDE. With 39m people, Poland is the largest
CEE market and GATEWAY to 100M+ CONSUMERS.
BRITISH POLISH CHAMBER OF COMMERCE (BPCC) and UKTI in POLAND
are working closely together to drive market entry initiatives. The project is
managed by a specialised group dedicated to the project within the TRADE
TEAM at BPCC.
British FOOD and DRINK in POLAND
Traditionally British food and drink products have been scarce in the POLISH MARKET. The FRENCH
and ITALIANS have progressively supported market entry of ethnic products over the years. In recent
years sales of PORTUGUESE products have been growing in Jeronimo Martens chain Biedronka,
GERMAN products in Lidl outlets. Interest in ASIAN, SPANISH and MEXICAN products has also been
steadily increasing.
Over 1m Poles migrated to Britain in the last 10 years. They and their families are constantly travelling
between the two countries. This considerable PEOPLE MOVEMENT between UK and POLAND is
DRIVING interest in BRITISH PRODUCTS with OVER 10% y.o.y. EXPORT GROWTH.
Poland is a competitive market and the TRADE EXPECTS brands to provide MARKETING SUPPORT
in order to get listings and SALES. This proposal outlines a comprehensive MARKET ENTRY
programme. It is broken down into practical stages that REDUCE the RISK and at the same time
provide the greatest chance of success - with all the BENEFITS OF SCALE - achieved by the team
over the last 2 years.

Regarding the past week’s activities in Warsaw
and the participation of BPCC and UKTI, I would
like to forward my thanks and appreciation for all
the hard work carried out over the last 3 days and
all the time spent investigating the market,
researching the partners and carrying out tastings
and consumer research.
This has been a very professional project and I
hope the results show that to be the case. If only
other countries would be represented in the same
way then I am sure the volume of exports into
other markets would be in substantial growth.
Well Done and Thank you.
Kind regards
Nick Davis
Having done "trade missions" in the past, this was a leap of faith on
our part and I was very pleasantly surprised.
The pre-visit research documents were very useful and the briefings
and other paperwork have enabled me to fill in gaps in my
understanding of the Polish retail market opportunity.
I know from speaking amongst the other delegates that they too very
visibility impressed with arrangements and BPCC and UKTI are to be
commended for the drive and initiative shown. I sincerely hope that
this type of event may be used in other parts of the globe as an
active promotion to re-ignite the local interest in Great Britain and
great British companies.
Best wishes to all your staff.

Managing Director
I was very impressed with the number and quality
of leads as the project encouraged some of the
leading retailers and distributors to join the event
and commence negotiations.
Participation in the project resulted in a number
negotiotions taking place and should identify the
appropraite partner for distribution
of Jordans cereal range in Poland.

As part of the 'Food is Great - Taste of Britain' market entry
campaign, Dairy Crest pie requested the services of the BPCC
Trade Team to explore export opportunities of its dairy products
portfolio into the Polish market. The level of service and in-depth
market data we received, including product assortment, pricing,
positioning and competition, was outstanding.
This has enabled Dairy Crest to gain a clear understanding of the
potential opportunities in the Polish market and to formulate the
right strategy to enter into the market.
I must highlight the high level of professionalism and competency
demonstrated by all the BPCC Trade Team staff for the duration of
the project and beyond.
As a result of the 3-day 'Food is Great - Taste of Britain' event held
in Warsaw during April 2014; I was able to meet most of the dairy
retail buyers and distributors and finally secured a distribution
agreement with one of the largest cheese importers and
distributors in the market.
I do sincerely hope that our feedback and exceptionally positive
experience will encourage more UK companies to get close to the
BPCC Trade Team to get advice on their export business
needs if they are targeting the Polish market.
Maria Rodriguez – International Account Manager
Many thanks for your splendid efforts last week and please pass on
my thanks to the rest of the team particularly Bogna who did a
fantastic job.
It is not easy pinning buyers down to a day let alone a precise time so
I understand the pressures you were under to keep things flowing but
I came away with a number of useful contacts and will of course keep
you updated on any progress made.
I am sure that your efforts will deliver results for the ‘Taste of Britain’
campaign going forward and hope that our company also benefits, in
the meantime keep up the good work.
