Podlaskie Voivodship is located in a climatic zone perceived as unfavourable for pear production.
This study examines production, trade and consumption of pears in Poland and argues that Podlaskie
Voivodship can exploit the existing demand for pears in the region given the physiological opportunities
resulting from the phenomenon known as parthenocarpy. Parthenocarpy permits production of pears
despite the flower damaging spring frosts. Regionally important pear cultivars are recognized and consumed
by residents in the area and in the neighbouring countries located to the East and Northeast of Podlasie.
Although Podlaskie Voivodship plays a secondary role in tree fruit production in Poland, pear production is
relatively more important in the region than in the country as a whole. Moreover, it appears that the
pattern of large and small crops in the region and in Poland follow different pattern making Podlaskie
Voivodship a reliable supplier of pears in when the pear crop may be particularly small in the country
as a whole. The growing popularity of pears with Polish consumers and preferences for the familiar cultivars
such as ’Beurre Alexandre Lucas’ or ‘Conference’ produced in the region bodes well for producers, but
attention to quality is necessary in the very competitive fresh fruit market. Additional markets in the
neighbroing countries may offer additional opportunities for growers, who could expand pear production
and benefit the regional economy.
