“…Milk and dairy products are competitive in terms of price in the World market. Two different types of external competitiveness recorded milk and dairy products in the CEFTA market, i.e., with prices (2015;2021) andquality (2018;2019;2020). The deficit in trade and low unit export prices indicated predominately quality non-competitiveness of milk and dairy products in the EU market during the observed period.…”

The aim of this research is an analysis of the export competitiveness of the milk and dairy products of the Republic of Srpska on the international market. Indicators analysed in the paper are the net trade index (NTI) and the index of contribution to the trade balance (CTBI). Additionally, the paper investigates the type of external competitiveness of the milk and dairy products according to four criteria based on a comparison of export and import unit prices. All indicators have been calculated based on statistical data about the foreign trade of milk and dairy products and referred to the period 2015-2021. In the total export structure of the agri-food sector, milk and dairy products have significant participation in an average of 10.40%. CEFTA and EU countries as the major market destinations for milk and dairy products have recorded an average share of 20.30% and 4.81% in the total agri-food export of the Republic of Srpska. Unlike the EU countries, the analysis of the NTI showed the trade of milk and dairy products between the Republic of Srpska and the world as well as the CEFTA countries was competitive. The values calculated for the CTBI indicated positive contribution of milk and dairy products to the trade balance between the Republic of Srpska and the CEFTA countries as well as to the total trade balance. In trade with the EU these products showed comparative disadvantages. The results of the analysis based on the comparison of a unit of export and import prices indicated market segmentation of milk and dairy products into three parts: dominated price competitiveness in the world market, price and quality competitiveness in the CEFTA market, and predominantly price non-competitiveness on the EU market. The analysis of competitiveness type indicates the need for improvement of the export structure of the dairy sector towards favouring higher value-added products, especially on the EU market.

“…Firstly, the fall in demand, attributed to the low population growth rate [72] and the aging process, negatively influences food consumption [73]. The second factor is the strong competition from partner countries [29] and nearby economies in the northern and southern Mediterranean [74][75][76][77][78], as well as more distant African [79] or Asian economies [80]. The conditions of the European agri-food market negatively affect the evolution of export revenues for Spain and Portugal, making it more difficult for their companies to do business outside the domestic market.…”

Spain and Portugal, two countries located in southern Europe, share a significant export specialization in agricultural and agri-food products compared to the EU-27 as a whole. Based on arguments drawn from the literature and information provided by Eurostat, this paper first identifies the characteristics of the dynamics of sales of agri-food products in the international market for the two Iberian Peninsula economies between 2008 and 2022, a period marked by the introduction of restrictions on foreign trade flows worldwide. Secondly, using panel data methodology, it examines how imports by EU-27 partners influence this trajectory. The results confirm the strengthening of export specialization in these two countries, which sell a wide variety of agri-food products in international markets. Additionally, in the case of Spain, the estimated concentration indices show a spatial diversification process towards new destinations. In both economies, however, the EU-27 market, characterized by strong competition and low development expectations, continues to influence export trends in the short and medium terms. Consequently, institutions and companies in the sector must adopt a more dynamic approach and implement actions aimed at facilitating access to new export destinations and consolidating business there. Thus, an increasing share of their exports should be reoriented towards markets with higher demand growth, helping to reinforce the global competitiveness of the national agri-food sector. This research contributes to the scientific literature on the medium- and long-term effects of economic integration processes on the exports of agri-food products of member countries.

“…Ćejvanović et al (2014) concluded that foreign trade has an impact on the agricultural sector in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Brkić et al (2021) found low intensity and vertical nature of the agrarian intra-industry trade of Bosnia and Herzegovina with the EU countries. Milovanović et al (2018) found that Bosnia and Herzegovina's agrarian exports and imports have been increasing recently, while the volume of agrarian exports have a higher growth rate than of imports.…”

“…The analysis of agrarian trade for the mentioned countries in Western Balkan was done by numerous authors (Ćejvanović et al, 2014;Hodo, 2014;Jovanović and Despotović, 2014;Jovanović et al, 2015;Braha et al, 2017;Matkovski et al, 2017;Matkovski et al, 2018;Milovanović et al, 2018;Marković et al, 2019;Mrdalj et al, 2019;Brkić et al, 2021;Matkovski et al, 2021) applying different methodologies, and calculating different indices of foreign trade exchange, mainly those related to determining the competitiveness of an individual country in foreign trade in agricultural and food products. Matkovski et al (2017) analysed the effects of trade liberalization on the performances of foreign trade in agrarian products and found that liberalization had a positive effect on the intensification of Serbia's foreign trade with other CEFTA and EU countries.…”

The article interrogates the complementarity of agrarian trade between the Czech Republic and Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia applying the Trade Complementarity Index. Analyzing the last decade, the results indicate two-way complementarity of agrarian trade between the Czech Republic and North Makedonia and Montenegro. Due to the changes in the exports and import structure during the period under scrutiny, Serbia and Albania have also become complementary to the agrarian trade of the Czech Republic and vice versa. The Czech Republic's agrarian exports are also complementary to Bosnia and Herzegovina's agrarian imports. Generally, the results support the ongoing liberalization process between the EU and the Western Balkans and the rationale for the cooperation of the Czech Republic with Western Balkan countries and taking advantage of existing economic resources in the segment of agrarian products. However, results also indicate existing barriers to developing more intensive agrarian trade between the Czech Republic and countries of the Western Balkans.
