New Member States have been part of the Single market since joining the European Union in 2004. This step brought various challenges in each of these countries because of appreciable difference in competitiveness compared to old EU Member States. This article puts to the test the competitiveness of the Czech meat industry. This is one of the most important parts of the agri-food production, which is still a very important part of regional economics in less developed regions. Thus, it represents cultural heritage of the countryside. The main aim is to investigate specific branches of the Czech meat industry according to their competitiveness on the Single market. In the article, we make conclusion on different states of the competitiveness of three main branches of the Czech meat industry, which represents 85.6% of the overall meat export. Conducted research provided information on positive change in the export during the observed period of time, but the comparison of absolute export and import numbers did not refer to a positive development of the Czech meat industry. Furthermore, we observed tendency to locate meat production near local markets and in developed regions.

There are many different companies in the Greek meat industry, and most of them are small businesses. They can be divided into three main categories and all of them are referred to as meat manufacturing firms. The study of their main financial indexes is profitability, market share, and capital intensity. Capital intensity does not show stability in the turnover of these firms during the last years, while recovery points are seen after the covid 19 pandemic period increasing their competitiveness level. On the other hand, the competitiveness of these companies constitutes a crucial matter for all the firms as it is a guide for the selection of their proper strategy. As a result, the competitiveness estimation of these firms as a basic factor for the choice of the proper strategy acquires great importance and constitutes the aim of the present paper. Following the financial indexes methodology, the competitiveness estimation takes place with two equations using profitability and market share as dependent variables. The primary findings demonstrate how profitability, market share, and capital intensity affect the competitiveness of meat production enterprises, supporting the several strategies that these firms may choose to employ.
