Well - I only speak from what I experience myself in this case... and what I do see is a huge amount of the food sold here (cheeses, sweets, cookies and such) is Polish-made. I mean, enormous ratios. I start guessing "Poland or not" Even in Finland and Estonia, I managed to see rice from Poland, and throat pills from Poland. All that is much more than for example Russia can boast, sadly.

The Polish demographic numbers also seem a lot more healthy than most of eastern and even some of central Europe.

Food processing ( dunno it is good word, i mean food - related industry ) is strong here, but it is strong since 1600-1700. As ,, industry " i think more like cars, planes, chemical industry, mining etc and these are mostly possed by foreign companies or are in really big troubles. 

Second - Polish food is mostly cheap, thats why its sold well abroad. Why it is cheap ? yep :P

 

Demographic are actually gettin worse and worse year over year. Just like in all West countries, but we dont have a immigrantion here. Almost no social, low salaries etc. At least our coutry was not flood by muslims.

That's the case for pretty much the whole EU that isn't an extremely developed country, like the Nordics, UK, Holland, Germany and so on are :/ it also is a nice chunk of the reason Bosnia is having riots these days, the association agreement with the EU has given their industry somewhat of a chokehold.

Statistics paint a pretty healthy demographic state for Poland, though. I didn't know about the no social or low salaries thing, to me Poland was actually the example of the only old eastern bloc country (aside from Czech and Slovakia) that did things right after disposing of communism.

Well, meanwhile I enjoy cheap Polish marmelade cookies
