Polish food commodity price fluctuations

Overview

Food commodity prices in Poland have experienced significant downward trends following previous peaks. Sugar prices reached record lows of 99 groszy per kilogram, a situation producers attribute to aggressive retail price wars and what they describe as “dumping” from non-EU imports. While global cocoa prices have dropped significantly, retail chocolate prices remain high due to increased energy, transport, and labor costs.

Similarly, butter prices have seen a correction after surging by over 54% in late 2024. Following a peak in December 2024, average prices declined through early 2025 due to increased supply and retail competition. Analysts suggest this relief may be temporary, with potential price increases expected during the latter half of the year.
