Globalisation and integration processes of Poland with the European Union changed the direction of development of the food industry structures. Processes of production concentration consisting in decreasing the number of active enterprises, mainly the smallest ones, and increasing the number of large enterprises and their share in production and employment were resumed in the industry. After over eight years of EU membership, the structure of the Polish food industry is close to the structure of the food industry in the EU-15 Member States (before enlargement of the European Union).
