This study aims to provide a comprehensive economic assessment of Poland\u2019s foreign trade in goose meat and offal during 2020\u20132024, examining export specialization, price dynamics, and market resilience. Using official data from the Central Statistical Office (GUS), Eurostat, UN Comtrade, and the National Bank of Poland (NBP), trade flows were disaggregated by CN product codes, destination countries, and unit prices to identify key structural patterns. Results indicate that export volumes remained largely limited by price responsiveness despite sharp price increases and exchange rate fluctuations, confirming stable foreign demand. Exports were heavily concentrated in Germany, which absorbed over 70% of the total trade value, while domestic consumption stayed below 0.5 kg per capita annually. These findings demonstrate both the competitiveness and the fragility of Poland\u2019s export-oriented trade model, characterized by dependence on a single market and limited domestic integration. The study concludes that long-term food system resilience requires diversification of export destinations, stimulation of domestic demand, and stronger alignment with sustainability goals. A forthcoming second part will address environmental impacts and consumer awareness.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/foods15081353","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,13]],"date-time":"2026-04-13T11:38:26Z","timestamp":1776080306000},"page":"1353","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Market Dynamics and Economic Drivers of Poland\u2019s Foreign Trade in Goose Meat and Offal"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Monika","family":"Were\u0144ska","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Food Technology and Nutrition, Wroclaw University of Economics and Business, 53-345 Wroclaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8521-4088","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wawrzyniec","family":"Michalczyk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of International Economic Relations, Wroclaw University of Economics and Business, 53-345 Wroclaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0172-7570","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrzej","family":"Okruszek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Food Technology and Nutrition, Wroclaw University of Economics and Business, 53-345 Wroclaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"551","DOI":"10.1017\/S0043933912000645","article-title":"A Century of Progress in Waterfowl Production, and a History of the WPSA Waterfowl Working Group","volume":"68","author":"Huang","year":"2012","journal-title":"Worlds Poult.
