Foreign investors accounted for 27%Throughout 2017, transactions between Polish entities dominated. Foreign investors accounted for 27% of buyers and represented mainly European countries. We noted further transactions involving Asian investors: poultry group Superdrób acquired Thai conglomerate Charoen Pokphand Foods (CPF) as an investor, while Chinese food giant WH Group, through the US company Smithfield Foods, which it owns, acquired stakes in abattoirs owned by Pini Polonia. The Chinese in Poland also have stakes in companies with production facilities such as Animex, Agri Plus and Agri Plus Feed. This year shows that the Chinese are increasingly bold in buying Polish entities. We predict that in 2018 we will see further Asian investments in the domestic market.
