“…Moreover, the position of Poland in EU agri-food trade, as the closest Czech partner, should not be overseen. According to Lizinska et al [63], the role of the Polish agri-food sector in the Polish economy is becoming stronger.

The paper, based on RCA, LFI and GL indices, and logistic regression analysis, allowed us to track the dynamics of the comparative advantage/disadvantage of the Czech Republic in individual commodity aggregates in relation to individual EU partners, and to comprehend the role of the main production factors. The only production factor with a statistically significant effect is capital. Trade with countries richly endowed with agricultural land and capital, in most cases, appeared not favorable for the Czech Republic in terms of having a comparative advantage over them, if measured with LFI index. The values of the GL index disclosed that trade with these countries is mostly of an inter-industry character. The analysis revealed the following top-3 mostly competitive Czech aggregates: S3-08 (animal feed stuff), S3-06 (sugar and sugar preparations), along with S3-04 (cereals and cereal preparations). Some aggregates appeared to not have any comparative advantage: S3-01 (meat, meat preparations), S3-05 (vegetables and fruits), and S3-41 (animal oils and fats). Speaking of developmental trends, from 2000 to 2019 the Czech Republic has managed to improve its position in agri-food trade within the EU-27 by 43.81% if measured with LFI, and by 51.63% if measured with RCA. These positive changes also appeared to be statistically significant.
