The aim of the paper was to assess the competitive position of the main producers and exporters of oilseeds and vegetable oils in the intra-EU trade in 2004 and 2012. The competitiveness was assessed with the use of a selected set of quantitative measures of international competitive position. Moreover, some shares of the analysed countries in the intra-EU trade, as well as relative export intensity of oilseeds and vegetable oils in these countries were estimated. On the basis of the conducted analyses it is possible to conclude that apart from Germany in trade in rapeseed and soya beans, as well as the Netherlands in trade in rapeseed and sunflower-seed, the main producers and exporters of oilseeds were competitive on the Single European Market. Excluding soya-bean oil produced in the EU mainly from imported raw material, competitive advantage of most of the countries decreased together with the level of processing and was lower in trade in vegetable oils.

Celem artykułu było zidentyfikowanie pozycji konkurencyjnej największych producentów i eksporterów nasion oleistych i olejów roślinnych w handlu wewnątrzwspólnotowym w 2004 i 2012 roku. Badania zrealizowano z wykorzystaniem celowo dobranego zestawu ilościowych mierników międzynarodowej pozycji konkurencyjnej ex post. Ponadto oszacowano udziały badanych krajów w handlu wewnątrzwspólnotowym oraz względną intensywność eksportu nasion oleistych i olejów roślinnych w poszczególnych państwach. Na podstawie wykonanych analiz można stwierdzić, że najwięksi producenci i eksporterzy nasion oleistych w UE, z wyjątkiem Niemiec w handlu rzepakiem i soją oraz Holandii w obrotach rzepakiem i słonecznikiem, byli konkurencyjni na Jednolitym Rynku Europejskim. Pomijając olej sojowy, wytwarzany w UE głównie z surowca importowanego, przewagi konkurencyjne większości analizowanych krajów zmniejszały się wraz ze stopniem przetworzenia produktów i w wymianie olejami były niższe.

The aim of the paper was to assess the possibilities of development of trade in oilseeds in countries of the biggest producers of oilseeds in the world and in Poland under general equilibrium conditions and in view of progressing liberalisation of the global trade.

The aim of the article is to determine the level of food safety of households in the United States and to present their typology basing on the level of food safety and selected demographic-economic features. For the purpose of analysis the results of secondary research carried out by the Economic Studies Section of the US Department of Agriculture in December 2009 have been used. The analysis has indicated that 15% of American households was periodically or permanently deprived of food safety and that the frequency of the occurrence of problems with satisfying basic food needs was closely linked to both the level of the households' income and to non-economic factors such as the type of a household, racial or ethnic lineage and the place of residence.

The aim of the paper is to estimate the importance of trade in agri-food products in selected regional groupings from Europe, North America, Latin America, Asia and Africa. The value of the trade, both intra- and with third countries, the shares of agri-food trade in total trade of the region and the regions' shares in world agricultural trade were analysed. The analysis allowed us to indicate the largest global exporters and importers of agri-food products. The assessment of trade creation and trade diversion effect in agri-food trade of selected regional groupings was also possible.

The state of agri-food trade in two selected trade blocs from the African region was presented in the paper. Moreover, the possibilities of development of trade, production, demand and prices in agri-food sector of ECOWAS countries in view of changes caused by further liberalization of the world agricultural trade were discussed. A general equilibrium model Global Trade Analysis Project was used in the research to make the projections. The results of the analysis showed that a greater degree of liberalization of the world agricultural trade could cause an increase in the value of export and import of certain plant origin products, as well as may contribute to the decline in production and prices for these products.

W artykule przedstawiono stan obrotów handlowych artykułami rolno-spo­żywczymi dwóch wybranych ugrupowań integracyjnych z regionu Afryki, a następnie, z wykorzystaniem matematycznego modelu równowagi ogólnej Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP), wykonano projekcje dotyczące możliwych scenariuszy rozwoju wymiany handlowej, zmian produkcji, popytu gospodarstw domowych i cen płaconych przez konsumentów w sektorze rolno-spożywczym Wspólnoty Gospodarczej Państw Afryki Zachodniej (ECOWAS). Rezultaty analizy dowiodły, że nasilenie tendencji liberalizacyjnych w światowym handlu rolnym może spowodować między innymi wzrost wartości eksportu i importu niektórych produktów pochodzenia roślinnego, a także przyczynić się do spadku produkcji i cen na te towary.

Research background: Food industry is of key importance to each economy due to its role in ensuring food security, balancing the labour market, as well as contributing to the economic growth and international trade. With a limited increase in demand for food in many highly developed countries, further growth in this sector of the economy will largely depend on the ability to successfully distribute manufactured goods in international markets and cope with competitive pressure from other entities. Purpose of the article: Therefore, the study attempts to assess the determinants of international competitiveness of the food industry worldwide measured by the trade balance. Methods: The research was based on data from the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development Data Center (UNCTADStat) and the World Input-Output Database (WIOD). The time frame for the analyses was determined by the availability of internationally comparable data and thus covered the period of 2000?2014. The empirical analysis was performed with the use of panel models, while international competitiveness was measured by trade balance (net export). Findings & value added: It was proved that increasing trade openness and relative demand, as well as decreasing relative unit labour costs have a positive impact on international competitiveness of the food industry worldwide. However, the nature of the relationship between relative labour productivity and trade balance appears to be ambiguous. A stronger impact of the examined factors on net exports in the long-run rather than the short-run was also evidenced. The novelty of our analysis is that we consider trade balance determinants of the food industry worldwide using panel models, whereas most of the existing studies focus either on one or a narrow group of countries.
