Lidl Polska extends cooperation with Grupa MTP

The Polagra Fair is a must-see meeting place for producers, processors and distributors in the sector, but also a platform for exchanging knowledge, presenting the latest trends and innovations that shape the future of the food market. The last day of Polagra, was at the same time the first day of the Tastes of Regions Fair, which brings together producers of the tastiest local products from all over Poland. Both events attracted nearly 40,000 visitors from 37 countries, who were met by more than 450 exhibitors with offers. An important highlight of the fair was the debates, presentations and training sessions with government representatives, chambers, associations, producers and partners.

- We are delighted that the path taken with Lidl Poland has contributed to the creation of a real celebration of the Polish food industry. I am convinced that the jointly set direction and accompanying goals will allow us to develop the sector just as intensively and effectively in the years to come - comments Filip Bittner, Vice-President of the Management Board of the Grupa MTP.

Together for the industry

Lidl Polska is a socially responsible company that continuously engages in activities that are important for society, and its activities have a strong impact on the national economy. The chain not only develops the retail sector, but also has a broad impact on other industries. Its operational activities translate into benefits for suppliers of goods and services, which strengthens many sectors of the Polish economy.

Lidl Poland consistently invests in the development of the Polish food market, offering a wide selection of products from local suppliers. The chain cooperates with almost 850 suppliers from all over Poland on a daily basis, and in 2023 more than 300 of them exported their products to foreign markets thanks to the chain. The value of these products amounted to nearly PLN 6.5 billion (data for 2023). The extension of Lidl Polska's cooperation with the MTP Group and its continued presence at Polagra is another step towards strengthening this strategy and supporting Polish producers.

- We have been making a positive impact on the national economy for more than 22 years. This includes not only the day-to-day running of shops, supporting Polish consumers and creating new jobs, but also working with Polish suppliers. This is one of our most important goals. We believe that further cooperation with the MTP Group and our presence at subsequent Polagra fairs will contribute to the dynamic development of the food industry and increase its innovation. This year's edition of the Polagra fair has confirmed that it is an excellent platform for discussions, as well as for exchanging experiences and expanding cooperation with Polish suppliers - comments Wojciech Grohn, Member of the Management Board of Lidl Polska.

The next edition of the Polagra fair will take place on 24-26 September 2025 in Poznań.
