India: Dairy and Products Annual

FAS New Delhi (Post) forecasts India's marketing year (MY) 2023 (January-December) fluid milk production to increase by nearly two percent to 207 million metric tons (MMT) assuming normal 2023 southwest monsoon (June-September) and weather conditions ensuring sufficient availability of fodder. MY 2022 fluid milk production is revised lower to 202.5 MMT, the result of an uneven 2022 monsoon season, spiraling feed costs, and the outbreak of Lumpy Skin Disease. Post forecasts MY 2023 butter exports at 55,000 metric tons (MT) on expected sufficient domestic milk supplies and recovery in export demand. Under the same assumptions, skimmed milk powder (SMP) exports are forecast to increase to 60,000 MT, or 11 percent higher than the revised estimated figure for MY 2022.

Poland: Exporter Guide

Poland is Central and Eastern Europe's largest market for food and beverage products. With a population of nearly 38 million people, Poland is a large and growing market for U.S. food and agricultural products. In 2022, Poland's economy was slowly returning to pre-pandemic levels. When Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, it sent shock waves through the Polish economy. The subsequent imposition of sanctions by the European Union (EU) and Poland on Russia and Belarus and the disruption in trade have contributed to sharp increases in energy, fuel, and food prices. Poland's total 2021 imports of food and agricultural products were valued at over $34 billion, with U.S. imports accounting for $566 million. U.S. products with strong sales potential include fish and seafood, distilled spirits, wine, tree nuts, dried fruit, and innovative food ingredient products.
