Research background: Globalisation and economic integration are the reasons for which the competitiveness of economic entities is analysed more and more often in the context of their relations with the international market. One of the ways to assess the competitiveness of the Polish food sector is an analysis of comparative (relative) advantages in the export of this sector's products. Purpose of the article: The objective of this paper is to assess comparative advantages in Polish export of food products to the European Union against a background of selected groups of non-food products. Methods: The study used the B. Balassa?s revealed comparative advantage (RCA) index. The study is preceded by a brief review of foreign trade results. The source of data was the WITS-Comtrade commercial database. The analysis was carried out at the level of the HS sections (in commodity terms). The research period covered the years 2003-2015. Findings & Value added: In the years 2003-2015, export of food increased nearly six times and its import - more than 4.5 times. The major partners of Poland as regards trade in food were the EU countries. The food sector was one of few sectors of the economy with the positive trade balance. Polish export to the EU was characterised by a diversified level of comparative advantages. From among 20 HS sections, in 2015 Poland had comparative advantages in export to the EU countries for products from 10 sections (2 food and 8 non-food). Those products accounted for 11% and 70% of Polish export to the EU, respectively. The development of Polish foreign trade in food products during the Polish membership in the EU as well as fairly high comparative advantages in the export of these products to the EU indicate the competitiveness and significant importance of the Polish food sector for the national economy.

The article offers a pragmatic analysis of the Polish exports, with focus on empirical aspects of its competiveness. First, statistical data indicating the position of Polish goods and services in international trade are presented, which also puts into perspective the size of the Polish economy. Next, the comparative advantages of Polish exports, broken down into groups and categories of products, are examined. In the final section the author identifies some factors, such as foreign direct investment, innovativeness and business environment, which can further increase the competitiveness of Polish exports.

Research background: The period after Poland's accession to the European Union is a period of systematic development of Polish foreign trade in food products. Positive changes were visible already in the first year, but trade turnover and the balance of food exchange were even more dynamic in the subsequent years of Poland's membership in the EU. Purpose of the article: One way to assess the competitiveness of Polish food sector is the analysis of comparative advantages (relative) in the trade of products of this sector. So the aim of the presented research is to assess the comparative ad-vantages of the Polish food sector (including its most important chapters). Methods: The analysis of comparative advantages was based on relative trade advantage index (RTA) and the Lafay trade balance index (TBI). The analyses cover the years 2004?2017. The data source was the WITS-Comtrade trading database, in which trade flows are expressed in USD. The analysis was carried out at the HS chapter level. Findings & Value added: The analysis of comparative advantages in the Polish trade in food products showed that during the membership in the European Union Poland had relative comparative advantages in the food trade on the world market. In the years 2004?2017 Polish export in agri-food products increased more than 4.5 times and the positive balance of trade in these products increased more than 9.0 times. Products in trade of which Poland had comparative advantages in 2017 accounted for 55.5% of trade of the Polish agri-food sector in the global market, i.e. by 12.8% more than in the year of accession of Poland to the EU. The dynamic development of trade in food products after Poland's accession to the EU, as well as significant comparative advantages in trade in these products, testify to the competitiveness and high importance of the Polish food sector for the national economy.

The purpose of this elaboration was to evaluate the diversity of competitive results of the food industry in the ‘old’ and ‘new’ EU countries in 2004, 2011 and 2018. The indicators of export market share, trade coverage and revealed comparative advantages of the food industry were used. Next the chosen descriptive statistics (arithmetic mean, coefficient of variation, lower and upper quartile, median, range, interquartile range), the box-plot figures and the Mann-Whitney U test, were applied. The conducted research proved the visible disparities between the ‘old’ and ‘new’ EU members in the range of all the evaluated indicators of competitive position, mainly in the case of export market share. The evaluation of the competitive results in the selected years demonstrate that there is a gradual process of reducing the gap within the competitive position of the food industry of the ‘old’ and ‘new’ countries of the EU.

Celem opracowania była ocena zróżnicowania wyników konkurencyjnych przemysłu spożywczego w krajach „starej” i „nowej” UE w latach 2004, 2011 i 2018. Obliczono wskaźniki udziału w wewnątrzunijnym eksporcie, pokrycia importu eksportem oraz ujawnionych przewag komparatywnych przemysłu spożywczego, a następnie zastosowano wybrane statystytyki opisowe (średnia arytmetyczna, współczynnik zmienności, dolny i górny kwartyl, mediana, rozstęp, rozstęp kwatylowy), wykresy–ramka wąsy oraz test Manna-Whitneya U. Z przeprowadzonych badań wynika, że występują wyraźne dysproporcje między krajami „starej” i „nowej” UE w zakresie wszystkich ocenianych wskaźników pozycji konkurencyjnej, głównie w przypadku udziału w eksporcie. Ocena wyników konkurencyjnych w kolejnych latach wskazuje, że ma miejsce stopniowy proces niwelowania luki w zakresie pozycji konkurencyjnej przemysłu spożywczego krajów ,,starej” i ,,nowej” UE.

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.
