5 This puts Małopolska on the sixth position in The most important export goods from Poland and shows still unused potential for Małopolska include food products, metal further development. As of now, the value and rubber products, plastic products of export in our region is three times higher and wooden products (including woodwork than in Wielkopolska (Greater Poland) and in and furniture). Subsequent places in the ranking Śląsk (Silesia). As assessed by experts, greater are occupied by machine products and chemical activity in foreign markets located nearby, i.e. products. Goods from the IT sector, i.e. software in neighbouring Slovakia, Czech Republic, and computer games are increasing their share Hungary and Ukraine, could offer a breakthrough. in export. Małopolska is practically a monopolist Małopolska’s export is dominated by small in the export of car radiators – the entire range and medium-sized enterprises. The average value of offer of these products derives from our region. of export transactions of one company amounts to several million euro.

New export directions include Far and Middle East (18%) and Africa (14%). On the other hand, the opinion about markets of Eastern Europe that do not belong to the European Union and countries of Central Asia is changing. It is estimated that low prices are decisive on these markets, whereas technological contribution, quality requirements and competitiveness resulting from innovation are of lesser importance. Meanwhile, Polish companies have made significant investments in these elements of production and the price factor as such is not of major importance. In the context of these dilemmas, it is also necessary to mention the constantly decreasing level of export to Russia (EUR 142 million), which has recently dropped by a subsequent 3%. ¢ CHEMISTRY, II.
