Age and dry corn prices in Poland vary by region

In fresh corn, a net price of 610–680 zloti/ton was announced in Kujawsko-Pomorskie, 640–670 zloti/ton in Dolnośląskie, 590–670 zloti/ton in Wielkopolskie, and 640 zloti/ton in Zachodniopomorskie. There was also a difference between purchase points within a single voivodeship; the range of bids reached 70 zloti/ton in Kujawsko-Pomorskie and 80 zloti/ton in Wielkopolskie. Compared to 16 October, the direction of price changes was not consistent across regions. In Łódzkie, the price dropped from 670 zloti/ton to 620–640 zloti/ton, while in Zachodniopomorskie it increased from 620 to 640 zloti/ton.

For dry corn, prices across voivodeships ranged from 850 to 1030 zloti/ton net. Offers were 950–1030 zloti/ton in Pomorskie, 940–980 zloti/ton in Kujawsko-Pomorskie, 880–960 zloti/ton in Wielkopolskie, 900–950 zloti/ton in Dolnośląskie, and 850–870 zloti/ton in Podkarpackie. Port prices reached a net level of 980–1040 zloti/ton. However, shipping costs to the port and specific delivery conditions are also taken into account.

The higher price of dry corn does not automatically translate into higher profits for producers. As the grain loses water and weight during drying, businesses face energy, fuel, and drying plant costs. Although drying allows for better storage and avoids immediate post-harvest sales, it does not guarantee improved financial outcomes. Adrian Wawrzyniak, spokesperson for NSZZ RI "Solidarność", stated that, considering his own costs and production scale, corn should be priced at over 1,100 zloti per ton.
