The population in Bangladesh, one of the poorest countries in the world, is threatened by food commodities prices development. Since the poor allocate, proportionally, more of their income on consumption of food products, it is reasonable to assume that any rise in commodity prices around the world, hits the poorest countries to a relatively larger extent. At the same time, domestic economies of the poor countries are not any more resistant to absorb growing food prices and project them into the domestic price level. In the last month of the rst quarter of 2011, prices of food have increased by almost four percent, being the largest increase in the last four decades. This leads to the imminent danger of an increase in poverty. In this paper, the impact of increasing prices of food on the level of poverty in Bangladesh is researched, using the partial equilibrium model. Also some of the indicators of poverty in Bangladesh are estimated and compared over time.

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.

This paper analyzes basic development trends in European Union's organic farming during the period 2005-2011. The analysis is based on data provided by EUROSTAT, IFOAM and FAOSTAT. Individual time series are analyzed through basic index, chain index, geomean, correlation analysis and elasticity analysis and logarithmical regression. The aim of this paper is to identify basic development trends in the following areas: organic land development; the number of organic farms; and the value of organic market development. Research also identi es existing differences among individual EU countries in the area of organic farming development. A part of the paper is also devoted to the relationship that exists between organic farming development and agricultural subsidies/supports in individual EU countries. The size of organic farmland increased significantly and also the number of producers increased. The significant organic farming growth can be demonstrated in majority of analyzed countries. It should be emphasized that high growth of organic farming size was obvious especially in the new EU countries. In general, it is clear that organic farming represents a specific market niche in the European agricultural market. Organic farming development is connected especially with the new consumption trends and also with the growth of individual countries economies and especially with the growth of income per capita in individual countries. The growth of organic farming is stimulated especially by the demand side of economy rather than by government subsidies. The conducted analysis proved much higher correlation and elasticity of organic farming sector performance in relation to individual countries' economy development than it is in relation to individual countries' government expenditures.
