Farming
is big business in Poland. About 60
percent of Poland's land area is used for farming, and it plays a very large
role in Poland's economy. Farms in
Poland produce large quantities of food both for domestic use and
for exporting. The largest yields come from
Winter Cereals- Wheat, Rye, Barley and Oats.
Other major crops include Potatoes and Apples- Poland is the 10th and
4th largest producer in the world respectively.
Poland has a cooler climate with plenty of precipitation, which is ideal
for these types of plants.
As you can see from
these maps of worldwide Wheat and Potato production, Poland is located in an
area with high production levels.
Naturally these
crops are featured heavily in Polish cuisine.
Various types of breads and dumplings are very popular in Poland, and one
of the most popular traditional foods is potato pancakes.
