The article is focused on the international competitive position of V4 countries in the foreign trade of agri-food industry products. The V4 countries' accession to the EU significantly changed exporters and importers' situation in these countries, providing them with better access to numerous markets. Integrating them into the single internal market area promoted trade and resulted in an increase of intra-EU exports and imports. The agri-food products market strongly benefited from such an opportunity, which was significantly limited before 2004 by duties and quotas. The article presents changes in international trade in agri-food products in the V4 countries and their competitiveness. We employ share of the analyzed country in global exports (EMS), import-export coverage (TC), revealed comparative advantages (RCA), and the intensity of intra-industry trade Grubel-Lloyd Index (GL) to assess the competitiveness. Our results show that Poland performed the best in international trade in agri-food products among the V4 countries. The result was confirmed by partial indicators and the total competitiveness index.
