After industry, it is the second largest contributor to gross domestic product (GDP). In 2013, trade accounted for 16.5% of GDP, a slight 0.06% more than the 17.1% it reached in 2004. Trade made up about 19.5% of gross value added in 2004. As regards the retail sector in Poland, goods are purchased most often (56% of the time, in fact) directly from domestic producers and manufacturers, which makes up an approximately 29% share of the wholesale sec- tor in the total sales [Internal Market 2013]. A trend to reduce the role of middlemen in the supply chain, including for food, is clearly notable nowadays, which is a positive development for sustainable production and the consumption of goods brought to mar- ket by a shorter supply chain, thus providing an opportunity for producers, especially of agricultural products, to earn a fair income. Poland had as many as 307 agricultural pro- ducer groups1 operating in 2013, due to considerable fragmentation of farms and a weak network of producer organisations. Consequently, a large part of production capacity was dispersed among the farm holdings producing on a small scale. More than half of them generated less than 4 thousand EUR worth of produce, so the majority share features in- cluding low specialisation and limited participation in the market [RDP 2014–2020]. It is therefore important not only to provide opportunities to farmers with access to alternative outlets on agricultural markets, but to also enable local processing of agricultural produce on site in farm holdings. Given the viewpoint of especially small farms, the sales points they find attractive include marketplaces and bazaars as well as marginal sale points 1 www.krs.org.pl [accessed: 25.11.2013]. 6 A. Borowska designated by local authorities, where they can, for example, offer their raw materials, including farm produce and products processed on the farm, directly to the consumer. Such sale points include markets, bazaars and other sites specified by the local authorities as marginal sales space. Besides, for over a decade now, outdoor events such as bazaars, fairs, festivals, and special product days (for beans, cherries, plums, apples, oscypek – a Polish sheep cheese, wine and honey and other locally grown and/or produced products) have been promoted, and are now becoming increasingly popular across the country. The events have been organised in cooperation with local government authorities, public-pri- vate organisations, and chambers of commerce, providing a good opportunity to buy local products and acting as a magnet for both local farmers and tourists. GOALS, SOURCE MATERIAL AND METHODOLOGY The article seeks to show changes in the level and structure of seasonal and all-year outdoor markets in Poland since Poland’s accession to the EU as one of the places where PDO (protected designation of origin) and PGI (protected geographical indication) la- belled foods are sold. I refer to the results of research conducted during projects, includ- ing those concerning the consumers of traditional and regional food in Poland (grant 2007 – A programme of Cooperation Fund Agro-Smak 2, and project NN 112374540 NCN) as well as the producers of those products (grant MNiSW NN 112057234 and my own research conducted during 2010–2014). Comparative and descriptive methods are used in the analysis. Information about consumer preferences concerning traditional and re- gional food with EU geographical indications was obtained with the support of the PEN- TOR Research International polling organization in 2007 and with the support of TNS Polska polling organization in 2012. The survey was conducted among a representative sample of 1,038 and 1,200 Polish respondents over 15 years of age, respectively, using CAPI interviewing and by means of ad-hoc Omnibus method. The survey of producers of regional and traditional food was conducted between 2008–2010 (33% of the products from the list of traditional products, including also those awarded PDO, PGI and TSG – traditional speciality guaranteed, status) as well as in 2014 by means of a questionnaire (70 producers) and a telephone interview (120 entities). OPEN MARKET TRADING IN POLAND BETWEEN 2004 AND 2013 The scale and standardization of the production output obtained from the acreage of farm holdings in Poland, especially those with an area of less than 5 ha, or about 1.5 mil- lion entities (approximately 69.2% of the total number of farms), has been a major obsta- cle preventing the availability of regular and continuous batches of products for the retail sector. Of course, farmers could sell their

  • REGIONAL HONEYS in POLAND in 2010-2015 Agnieszka Borowska1 1Warsaw University of Life Sciences WULS – SGGW
    Proceedings of the 2018 International Conference "ECONOMIC SCIENCE FOR RURAL DEVELOPMENT" No 47 Jelgava, LLU ESAF, 9 11 May 2018, pp. 443-452 DOI 10.22616/ESRD.2018.051 REGIONAL HONEYS IN POLAND IN 2010-2015 Agnieszka Borowska1 1Warsaw University of Life Sciences WULS – SGGW Abstract: The situation of producers of five Polish regional honeys certified with the Protected Designation of Origin and the Protected Geographical Indication logos is shown. The specifics of production, distribution, prices and prospects for their presence on the Polish market is presented. Besides, attention is drawn to the structure of net prices (producers) and retail prices of such regional honeys, i.e. the Kurpie honey, the heather honey from Bory Dolnoslaskie forests, the Podkarpacki honeydew honey, the honey from Sejny county, and the Drahim honey. The study is a continuation of research initiated within the framework of research project N N112 05 72 34 of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education and N N112 374540 of the National Science Centre. Regional honeys with PDO and PGI quality markings are a new phenomenon on the Polish market. For producers, they are a challenge in the production certification process according to the specification, thanks to which the PDO or PGI logo can be used on the honey packaging. Their sale mainly takes place within short distribution chains and demand exceeds supply. Consumers see a high-quality product in regional honey, and thus position it higher in relation to other honeys, which is why the interest is growing. Key words: regional honeys, PDO, PGI, production, prices JEL code: Q11 Introduction With Poland’s accession to the EU in 2004, both institutional and social actions were intensified with the aim to make Polish producers register their quality traditional and regional products as the Protected Designation of Origin (PDO), the Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) and the Traditional Speciality Guaranteed (TSG).

Changes in the beekeeping sector in Poland in the years 2004 to 2015 with particular focus on regional differences are discussed. The article inform about the production and specifics of sale, prices of honey in purchasing centers and on retail and wholesale markets is discussed. The foreign trade of honey in respect of its value and volume is reviewed, and honey consumption per household and per capita is characterized. INTRODUCTION Poland’s accession to the EU in 2004 contributed to more dynamic development of the beekeeping sector. Because of opportunities of getting support under national beekeep- ing schemes [EC 2013a], integration of bee-keepers, as well as standing education of the latter, bee-keepers undertook formal and administrative steps in order to modernize and upgrade their apiaries, including the production of honey and other apiary products. China is the world’s leader in honey production, it produces approx. 27% of the global volume, i.e. more than 450 Kt1 in 2013. China is followed by the EU, which accounts for approx.

  • The Nutritive Value of Honey - a Pure Natural Sweetener (From Billy Bee)
    The nutritive value of honey - a pure natural sweetener (from Billy Bee) http://www.billybee.com/en/infocentre/generalfacts.shtml Honey has more nutritious elements than refined sugar. It's a concentrated source of energy - quickly digested and readily absorbed - and contains no fat. Honey is pure because no other ingredients are added. But what puts honey first among sweeteners is its truly unique flavour, its look and natural character. A little goes a long way... Versatile and fat-free, honey makes other foods more tasty and pleasurable. From appetizers to dessert, honey enhances healthy cooking. Here are some quick and easy ideas. • On half a grapefruit bursting with Vitamin C. • On wholegrain toast (bagel, english muffin) • In plain, low-fat yogurt, fruit milk shakes or a mug of hot milk...a delicious way to increase calcium in the diet. • On crepes or bran waffles instead of butter or margarine. • Add a variety of fruits for a colourful plate full of vitamins and fibre! • As a glaze for carrots or squash. • In the preparation of vinaigrette and dressings for light salads. • For making marinades tenderly sweet, marinate lean cuts of meat, skinless chicken breast, fish, vegetables and even fruit. For a full listing of our recipes, please visit our recipe section. Mineral and vitamin content depend on floral sources Honey contains a variety of minerals and trace elements in small amounts (0.1% to 1.5%) depending on floral source and geographic origin. Studies have shown that the human body absorbs these minerals very well. Two tbsp (30ml) of honey contains 25mg of potassium.
