This article presents an assessment of the potential for introducing Polish regional products in the European Union’s Common Market. The main advantages of Polish regional product entry to this market are the low costs of labour, big land resources, favourable age structure of population, traditional methods of agricultural production, natural rural landscape, big biodiversity, cultural and historical wealth. The main obstacles are the Polish law system and the lack of experience among Polish producers. The author thinks that Poland may become an acknowledged producer of cheeses, meat and meat preserves, fruits and vegetables, grains and their preserves as well as beverages.
