Greater Poland, the leading food processing location of Poland





Wielkopolska (Greater Poland) Region is one of the largest regions in Poland. Its area is comparable to an average sized European state (for example, Belgium), or a European region (for example, Brandenburg in Germany). Its population is bigger than that of Latvia and is not much smaller than the population of Ireland.


The Wielkopolska Province is conveniently situated at the junction of major European communication routes. It is at the crossroads of a major route from Berlin through Poznań, to Konin and Warsaw and on to Moscow, and from Prague through Leszno and Poznań to the Baltic Sea. Poznań Ławica airport operates both domestic and international flights. There are regular connections to London, Brussels in Belgium, Vienna in Austria, Cologne, Munich, Frankfurt/Main in Germany and Copenhagen in Denmark.


Wielkopolska has traditionally strong agricultural background. However the natural conditions are under the CEE average, but the well organized farms and the technical equipments ensures a leading role for the province in the Polish agri-business.
