Abstract
The accession of Poland to the European Union has changed economic conditions of Polish agriculture and foreign trade in agri-food products. After the accession all duties and other measures that could affect agri-food trade on the area of the enlarged EU have been abolished. So Poland was granted with an unlimited access to the market of about 450 million of customers. At the same time Polish market was opened on the same conditions as well. The analysis is focused on the identification of basic outcomes of the enlargement as regards foreign trade in potatoes and potato products. A significant increase in imports of potato preparations, including mainly starch products can be considered as a direct outcome of the accession. Considerable increase concerned also the import of ware potatoes. Remarkable increase was reported also in exports but its scale was not as such as in the case of imports. However the export of ware potatoes significantly declined. Reflecting these changes the balance of foreign trade after the accession clearly deteriorated. Nevertheless in the long run the accession creates much more opportunities than threats, which in the coming years should result in growing exports and thus some improvement of the balance of trade.
