(Yicai) Nov. 8 -- China-Poland economic cooperation has huge potential and there are many areas such as infrastructure, logistics, agriculture and clean energy that can become ‘growth points’ of trade between the two countries, Securities Times reported today, citing the chief representative of the China Office under the Polish Investment and Trade Agency.

Poland plans to expand its cooperation with Chinese firms in areas of green energy, sustainable agriculture and medical care technologies, Andrzej Juchniewicz said at a press briefing held at the sixth China International Import Expo on Nov. 6.

Farm produce, makeup, machinery and high-end tech are Poland's trademark products, Juchniewicz said. We bring representative firms from these sectors every time we attend the CIIE, he said.

Eight Polish firms in sectors ranging from farm produce to skincare products to pet food have their wares on display at Poland's exhibition area this year. Over 170 Polish companies have exhibited products ranging from agricultural produce, consumables and high-end tech to jewelry since the fair started in 2018. Polish exhibitors hope to find partners and clients by attending the fair, he added.

In recent years, more Chinese firms are choosing to invest in Poland, especially those in the electric vehicle sector, Juchniewicz said. Poland is particularly suitable for investment and manufacturing along the auto industrial chain, including battery packs and electrolytes, he added. Chinese car firms can use Poland as a springboard to cover the whole of Europe.

Poland is China's biggest trade partner and largest export market in central and eastern Europe. And China is Poland's second biggest trade partner and second largest source of imports. China-Poland trade totaled USD43.2 billion last year.
