“…By a strict agribusiness view, competitiveness is a description for the capability of maintaining a firm, sector or nation competitive. Which could be considered as the ability to protect or even to better its position towards competition (Drescher and Maurer 1999;Gallagher et al 2006;Bojnec and Fertö 2009;Latruffe 2010)?…”

Barley malt beer is the world's most consumed alcoholic drink and its industry represents a multibillion dollar international trade. Th e paper's main goal is to contribute with the analysis of this industry in terms of its international competitiveness and market structure. It utilizes the data regarding exports and imports for malted beer available in the International Trade Centre's Trade Map database and it refers to the period of ten years (2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012). Th e method used to expose the industry's competitiveness and market structure consisted in the calculation of (i) Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA); (ii) Relative Position of Market (RPM); (iii) Hirschman-Herfi ndahl index (HHI) and (iv) Net Export Index (NEI). Th e fi ndings show a high concentration for both the import and export markets and the detainers of the largest shares are: (1) the United States of America for imports and (2) Mexico, the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany for exports. It was possible to identify the players in the market structure based on exporters, importers and both importers and exporters, stressing their position in the market.Key words: international market structure, international competitiveness, malted beer 167Agric. Econ.-Czech, 61, 2015 (4): 166-178 Original Paper doi: 10.17221/189/2014-AGRICECON and (iii) macroeconomic (nation). With that in mind, the discussion will be undertaken on the mesoanalytic level, involving the barley malt beer. There are different indicators for a mesoanalytic view, according to Horn (1985). The trade theory says that a nation's competitive edge on specific sectors should be guided by the comparative advantage, according Ricardo and Heckscher-Ohlin. The comparative advantage says that the trade flows are the result of the efficiency differences in resource allocation among other nations. It concludes that the nations should specialize their production sectors of specific products for which they would have a greater efficiency (Horn 1985;Bojnec and Fertö 2009).One of the most often used indicators of the competitive edge on the international basis is the Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA). The RCA was initially created by Balassa (1965) and modified by Vollrath (1991) to avoid any doubled registers for the country pairs. It is sustained by exports. The index reveals the relation between the coefficients of participation of a nation's exported product i and its total flow of exports, and the coefficient of participation of the world's exported product i and the total flow of exports worldwide, in the same period. Mathematically:

“…Latruffe, L. [12] categorized the existing measures into two groups: trade measures, including real exchange rate and relative real exchange rates [15], purchasing power parity [16], Revealed comparative advantage, relative export advantage, relative import advantage, export market shares, net export index [17][18][19][20], and Strategic management measures, consists of domestic resource costs [21], social cost-benefit [22], costs of production [23], Profitability [24], Productivity and efficiency [25]. With the help of Regressions, Correlation and ranking analysis, Cluster analysis, researchers analyzed defining factors that influence the competitiveness of agricultural products, including farm size [26], farm specialisation [27], farm manager age, education [28], sophistication of consumers [17], government intervention, public expenditures [29].…”

How to optimize agro-product supply chain to promote its operating efficiency so as to enhance the competitiveness of regional agricultural products has posed a problem to academic circles, business circles and governments of various levels. One way to solve this problem is to introduce an information platform into the supply chain, which this essay focuses on. Firstly, a review of existing research findings concerning the agro-product competitiveness, agro-product supply chain (ASC) and information platform was given. Secondly, we constructed a mathematical model to analyze the impact of information platform on the bullwhip effect in ASC. Thirdly, another mathematical model was constructed to help compare and analyze the impact of information platform on information acquisition of members in ASC. The research results show that the implantation of information platform can mitigate the bullwhip effect in ASC, and members can determine order amount or production more close to the actual market demand. And also the information platform can reduce the time for members in ASC to get information from other members. Besides, information platform can help ASC to alleviate information asymmetry among upstream and downstream members. Furthermore, researches about the operating mechanism and pattern, technical feature and running structure of the information platform, along with their impacts on agro-product supply chain and the competitiveness of agricultural products need to be advanced.

“…Enfin, le troisième groupe, celui des pays obtenant les meilleurs résultats, comprend l"Autriche, l"Allemagne, l"Italie, l"Espagne et la Suède ; leurs indices ont tous progressé au cours de la période, en particulier le NEI pour le secteur agroalimentaire. Drescher et Maurer (1999) calculent l"EMS et le RCA de plusieurs produits laitiers en Allemagne au cours de la période 1983-93 par rapport à d"autres pays de l"UE. L"EMS dans le total des exportations de l"UE montre que l"Allemagne a perdu des parts sur le marché international (en quantités comme en valeur) pour le lait, le beurre et le fromage au cours de la période considérée.…”

“…Par exemple, selon plusieurs auteurs, les mesures des échanges (EMS, RCA, RMA, RTA, entre autres) ne tiennent pas compte de la taille des pays ou des secteurs, ce qui les disqualifient pour toute comparaison entre des pays ou des secteurs (Pitts et al, 1995 ;Drescher et Maurer, 1999 ;Banterle et Carraresi, 2007 ;Fischer et Schornberg, 2007). Banterle et Carraresi (2007) soulignent que, pour cette raison même, l"analyse des tendances mises en évidence par les indices des échanges est plus appropriée.…”

RésuméCe rapport passe en revue les travaux sur la compétitivité, la productivité et l"efficacité des secteurs agricole et agroalimentaire. Cette revue clarifie les concepts et la terminologie utilisés dans ce domaine et fournit une évaluation critique des approches et indicateurs employés dans les études antérieures pour mesurer la compétitivité, la productivité et l'efficacité au niveau sectoriel et à celui des exploitations. Elle examine également les principaux résultats récents concernant la croissance de la productivité, les variations de compétitivité relative entre sous-secteurs et entre pays, et ses déterminants. Pour terminer, elle identifie les principales lacunes de la connaissance dans ce domaine et suggère de porter davantage d'attention au secteur agroalimentaire, aux facteurs de compétitivité ne passant pas par les prix et à l'incidence des interventions des pouvoirs publics sur la compétitivité.
