The main aim of the paper is to present the influence of changes in the exchange rate of zloty in comparison with euro on the parameters of the Polish trade of agricultural and food commodities with the European Union. The research period covers the years from 2004 to 2007. The role of the exchange rate of zloty in comparison with euro was diversified for parameters of foreign trade with the European Union. The most significant parameter was the influence of the real exchange rate of zloty on the import. Strengthening of zloty in the period of 2004-2007 was accompanied by a significant increase in import. The applied power function allows concluding that the quarterly volumes of import were explained by the average quarterly exchange rates of zloty in 56%; whereas zloty's appreciation had small influence on the level of export. Other factors stimulating the Polish market, like increasing demand for the Polish food in the EU, cancelling of administrative barriers or rise of efficiency in Polish firms were the most important factors in this field.
