“…For particular product groups, greater variation was observed, with generally stable (unstable) patterns of variation for product groups with the comparative disadvantage (advantage). Qineti et al (2009) analysed the competitiveness and comparative advantage of the Slovak and the EU agri-food trade with Russia and Ukraine and found that the comparative advantage had been lost for a number of product groups over time, though the results for the individual product groups varied significantly. Bojnec and Fertő (2009) searched for the agro-food trade competitiveness of the Central European and Balkan countries and showed that the bulk primary raw agricultural commodities had higher and more stable relative trade advantages compared to the consumer-ready foods, implying competitiveness shortcomings in the food processing and in international food marketing.…”

Revealed comparative advantages are widely used by the global literature to analyse the international trade fl ows, though agricultural trade is usually neglected in the empirical works. Moreover, the determinants of revealed comparative advantages are scarcely investigated. Th is article analyses revealed comparative advantages in European ham trade from 1999 to 2013 and identifi es its determinants by using the panel data econometrics. Th e results suggest that quality linked to the production area highly aff ects the competitiveness of the European ham trade. Also, the EU accession is positively correlated with the competitiveness, meaning that the economic integration fosters competitiveness. However, in spite of the initial expectations, the FDI is negatively related to the competitiveness of the European ham trade, underlining the importance of the national ham processing companies.

“…A comparative advantage is proven if the RCA1 index value is greater than 1. If, however, the result of the index is less than 1, it may be asserted that the given country exhibits a competitive disadvantage in the case of the given commodity or group of commodities (Qineti et al 2009).…”

World trade underwent a signifi cant shock within the recent years, which caused a decline in the world economy primarily in the year 2009. Within the following years (2010 and 2011), the high rate of growth from the years preceding the crisis could not be restored. Th e crisis had an impact on all segments of the merchandise trade, whereby the trade in agricultural and food products was aff ected the least by the crisis. In the case of the Czech Republic, the crisis of the global and national economy was refl ected in the case of agricultural trade primarily by the way of a decline in the rate of the growth of export, which was very high in the period prior to the crisis. As far as the territorial structure and commodity structure of agricultural trade is concerned, their development in the years 2008-2011 was not aff ected in any largely signifi cant manner. In relation to the main objective of this article, which was to identify the eff ects of the crisis on the competitiveness of Czech agricultural trade, it may be stated that the crisis itself did not worsen the competitiveness of agricultural trade in any signifi cant manner.

“…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.
