Figures are for the whole of HS chapter 07 (edible vegetables and certain roots and tubers); onion is only part of it. Source: UN Comtrade, as reported by national authorities; latest available year per market.
China is just above at $2.0B and Vietnam just below at $1.4B. Poland’s 1.8% share of reported world imports sits at the edge of the top tier. The gaps on either side are reasonable, so its position is more stable than the tightly packed markets further down.
The chapter is 0.4% of total imports of $379.5B and ranks 44th among Poland’s import chapters.
Fresh vegetables reach central Europe largely by truck, and a Polish importer may be sourcing for buyers in several neighbouring countries as well as the home market. Germany, China, the USA and Italy lead the overall source list; that list spans all goods and does not describe onion origins.
An overseas onion seller competes with short road hauls, so the pitch needs a clear edge such as availability in a particular month, size or quality.
Ask about the intended channel, whether retail, wholesale or processing, and about pack size and labelling. Confirm the current plant-health and marketing requirements with the competent authority before making an offer.
Set Incoterm, currency, payment terms and discharge port at the outset, and be clear about who covers onward delivery.
The $1.7B covers the whole of HS chapter 07, edible vegetables and certain roots and tubers, so onions are only one component. Reporter declarations and re-exports can shift a country’s position.
