The article deals with the issues related to development of the agrarian foreign trade of the Czech Republic within the last decade. The objective of the contribution is to analyse development of the territorial and commodity structure of the Czech agrarian export and import and to determine the most important changes which happened in the course of the analysed period. The article analyses development of the territorial and commodity structure in relation to both Member States of the EU and third countries. It follows from the outcomes that the commodity and territorial structure of the Czech agrarian foreign trade is significantly concentrated. Member States of the EU hold a dominant position both from the point of view of the value of realized exports as well as imports. A slightly higher share of third countries in imports as compared to exports may be explained with the specific structure of the realized commodity structure. As regards development of the commodity structure, it may be stated that it is very concentrated - when a few aggregations comprise more than one half of the implemented sales turnover both with respect to Member States of the EU and with respect to third countries.
