prices of poultry meat was the lowest one; it amounted only to 10%. In 2005 and 2006,
the purchasing prices of poultry were lowered by 15%; in 2007, the mean purchasing
price of poultry amounted to 3.5 PLN/kg and was equal to the purchasing price of pigs
(Fig.4). Limitation of pork production in 2007 caused increase of its prices in 2008.

European Union, the licenses for trade with the UE-15 states were possessed in Poland
by 101 meat processing enterprises, including 61 entities, acting in red meat sector and
