“…The increase of asparagus production in Germany has already conduced at the diminution of Greek asparagus production. After year 2003, an attempt to find new markets for the Greek asparagus has been focused on new members (CEEC) of EU-27 [4,27] but it remains weak, 6.11% in 2005 [13] , owing to the structural restrictions of Greek supply chains and the lack of suitable coordination with foreign partnerships [26] . The diachronic evolution of exporting and importing penetration indices (EP, IP) in Table 1 indicates high exporting orientation for the Greek, Dutch and Spanish asparagus.…”

“…Over time, these "others" cultivations were baptized "traditional" and the government interventions directed and determined both the agricultural production and trade [2] . The CAP's revisions, under the commitments from the negotiations in the context of WTO for the gradual liberalization of markets and trade, as well as the accession of new members with competitive agricultural activities in the EU [3,4] have caused restlessness to growers for the future [5] of "traditional" cultivations. "Alternatives or new" crops were promoted as solutions to confront the shrinkage of producers' prices and their incomes.…”

Problem statement:The revisions and the anticipated abolition of CAP will change the agricultural structure in member states of EU. Although the asparagus, without government interventions, from the decade of 90' has been transformed at one of more promising, in exports terms, cultivation for Greece, however under the existing circumstances it has a doubtful future. Approach: This research studied the diachronic evolution of competitiveness of white fresh Greek asparagus into the European context. A scheme of trade indices, based on post-trade and post-production data, had been estimated in respect of absence from the literature of a single generally accepted measure of competitiveness. Results: The results demonstrated that the Greek asparagus presents both a highly dependency of the German market and a penetration weakness into other markets, except from the Dutch one. The lack of Greek large retail chains with considerable geographic dispersion in West Europe contributes to trading problem. The feeble domestic consumption in Greece in combination with the enlargement of German production and the implied diminishing of its imports, cause restlessness for the future of cultivation and the producers' income in Greece. Conclusion: A long term trading pattern for bonds creation in foreign supply channels and the growth of domestic consumption in Greece are indispensable to support and expand the future prospects of Greek asparagus.

“…Az eredmények rámutatnak arra, hogy Magyarországnak és Horvátországnak gondot okoz fenntartani a relatív export-, illetve külkereskedelmi előnyöket a magasabb feldolgozottságú, fogyasztásra kész termékeknél, illetve a feldolgozott félkésztermékeknél. Bojnec -Fertő (2008a) egy másik tanulmányában, egy szélesebb mintán (nyolc ország) hasonló időszakra megerősítik a közép-kelet-európai országok agrárkereskedelmi növekedésének fenntarthatóságának problémáit. Ebben a vizsgálatban is a mezőgazdasági nyersanyagtermékek és a fatermékek szerepeltek a legjobban, míg a fogyasztásra kész áruk a legkevésbé.…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to provide an adaptedz gravity model to measure the impact of the number of the internet users on food industry trade between developed Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development countries using both panel and cross-sectional data. Design/methodology/approach -The impact of the internet users on food industry export growth and levels, and on food industry trade reorientation, and whether the internet has altered the effect of distance on food industry trade, are analyzed using adapted gravity model. Findings -The positive, significant and over time increasing effect of the internet on food industry exports confirm that the internet reduces market-specific entry costs for food industry exports. The significant positive effect pertained to the internet is found in the importing countries. The significant positive effects on food industry exports are found for the country's economic size and bilateral common features and proximities. The internet mitigates the countries proximities, but increased the distance between the countries. Originality/value -The empirical contribution to the research of new connections made with the key elements of trade theory with focus on the effect of the internet on food industry trade.
