What Poland buys from Indonesia
Official EU customs statistics, put in one table: which food products from Indonesia Polish importers already buy, how much, and what is growing. Updated when Eurostat publishes new data.
What the numbers say
- Direct food imports from Indonesia are still small: the largest line, cashews and coconuts, was €8.6 million in 2025.
- Palm oil grew from €0.1 million in 2021 to €2.8 million in 2025; cocoa butter appeared in 2023 and reached €1.8 million in 2024.
- Shrimp and other crustaceans grew every year, from €0.14 million to €0.78 million.
- These figures count only goods cleared through customs in Poland. Indonesian food cleared in Rotterdam or Hamburg and resold to Poland is counted as Dutch or German trade, so Polish buyers use more than the numbers show, mostly through other EU importers.
- The EU–Indonesia trade agreement (CEPA) is expected to enter into force on 1 January 2027, with lower EU duties on many food products.

What this means for your shipment
Almost half of the problems are spices, mostly aflatoxins and ochratoxin A from drying and storage. For fish, mercury. Control moisture and storage, and test for mycotoxins before every shipment.
