Belarus leads non-EU pear exports

Belarus stayed the largest destination for Polish pears outside the European Union in October 2026. Data compiled from phytosanitary certificates issued by Poland's State Plant Health and Seed Inspection Service (PIORiN) show 1734 tonnes shipped there, up 59 tonnes, or 3.5 per cent, from September (Беларусь в октябре осталась крупнейшим покупателем груш из Польши за пределами ЕС – Reform.news) (Białoruś nadal zdecydowanie dominuje w eksporcie polskich gruszek poza Unię Europejską – kobietawsadzie.pl).

Ranking of destinations

Shifts compared with September

Kazakhstan's volume rose by roughly 75 per cent over the month, while shipments to Ukraine fell by 26 per cent, to 111 tonnes. Bosnia and Herzegovina received 40 tonnes and Norway received 360 kilograms. Together, the five countries took about 2.16 thousand tonnes, and Belarus alone accounted for 80.3 per cent of that total.

Context

In September, Belarus was also the leading non-EU market, receiving 1675 tonnes, or about 84 per cent of recorded shipments outside the bloc. Its share in the published statistics therefore fell by about three percentage points in October, even though its volume grew.

The figures cover only consignments for which phytosanitary certificates were issued and exclude shipments to other EU member states.
