The paper aims at determining the competitive position of agri-food products manufactured in Poland in intra-Community trade and at establishing the changes in the competitive capacity of Polish agri-food sector on the European Single Market under the conditions of possible implementation of the new WTO agricultural agreement or failure to implement it. The ex post analysis and projection of changes in the competitive capacity of Polish agri-food sector in intra-Community trade was performed with the use of selected set of quantitative indicators of international competitive position and computable general equilibrium model drawn up by the Global Trade Analysis Project. Also some selected groups of agri-food products manufactured in Poland were divided into types according to their level of competitive advantages on the European Single Market. For the purpose the authoress used the Ward method, from among the group of hierarchical agglomerative clustering methods. It was proved that until 2015 Polish food products would have a stronger competitive position on the European Single Market than raw materials. It was also emphasised that labour-intensive products should be still ranked among the most competitive products in intra-Community trade.
