Asked to define competition in agrarian sector, most economists will enlist the conditions for perfect competition, it means: -freedom of entry and exit to and from the industry, -many producers and consumers, all of whom are individually price takers rather than price setters; -freedom of information (if not prefect information); -homogenous products.…”

Abstract:The paper deals with the crucial phenomena of changes of the entrepreneurial environment of agriculture caused by the globalisation processes in the agrarian sector and their connection with the criteria of competitiveness of the present agricultural enterprises. it examines the influence of forming agribusiness and the demand driven terms of commodity chains functioning on the position of agricultural companies and the directly related segments in the field of the processing of agricultural products from the perspective of achieving competitive advantage. in this connection, the methodological approach to competitiveness is discussed according to the horizontal level, i.e. the particular stage of production or processing of the final product, and the vertical level, i.e. the interconnection of the individual stages of the vertical and their share in the value added in the final product as a prerequisite of the successful participation in forming competitiveness. Key words: agricultural enterprise, agribusiness, competitiveness, economic costs, commodity chainAbstrakt: Příspěvek se zabývá klíčovými projevy změn podnikatelského prostředí v zemědělství, vyvolanými globalizačními procesy v agrárním sektoru, a jejich působením na kritéria konkurenceschopnosti současných zemědělských podniků. zkoumá vliv formování agrobyznysu a poptávkově determinovaného chování komoditních řetězců na postavení zemědělských podniků a přímo navazujících zpracovatelských podniků z hlediska tvorby a realizace konkurenční výhody. V této souvislosti je diskutováno metodologické pojetí konkurenceschopnosti zemědělských podniků podle horizontálního přístupu, tj. odděleného hodnocení jednotlivých článků komoditního řetězce, a podle vertikálního přístupu respektujícího propojení jednotlivých fází v rámci vertikály, a jejich podíly na tvorbě přidané hodnoty ve finálním produktu jako podmínky úspěšné participace utváření předpokladů konkurenceschopnosti.

“…Farm support is more important in Finland than in other EU countries because of its unfavourable production conditions. Because the CAP does not consider northern agriculture with small farms as a priority, national support is of great importance [88]. During accession negotiations, the Finnish government and the European Union agreed that Finland could not use EU funds to implement land consolidations; therefore, rural development projects around land consolidation issues have focused on spreading information to landowners and farmers.…”

Land consolidation in rural areas is greatly influenced by a number of social, agricultural, and economic factors. They extend the time and complicate activities related to the implementation of this project. Land consolidation is a huge investment, requiring a good and up-to-date map. Up-to-date data that reflects reality are the basis for good and efficient land consolidation in rural areas. To improve the creation of a land consolidation project, the most appropriate solution would be to place all the necessary data to create a land consolidation project on “geoportals” websites. Providing data on the websites of geoportals in Poland and Finland in the form of a map portal would enable both visual and substantive analysis of spatial changes in rural areas. Therefore, this article pursues two main scientific goals. The first purpose of this article is to analyze the history and scope of land consolidation in Poland and Finland in order to learn the specifics of land consolidation in a given country. Comparisons and analyses were made on the basis of the authors’ experience in Poland and Finland with land consolidation in the areas described. The second scientific goal of the article is to compare the availability of geospatial data in the context of the methodology of performing land consolidation in rural areas, which leads to increased energy efficiency in agricultural production by reducing the need for energy, especially fuel for agricultural machinery. The results from the table with a list of geoportals in Poland and Finland are a summary of the data available for free. Thanks to it, land consolidation contractors around the world will have the opportunity to familiarize themselves with and perhaps use this data when creating a rural land consolidation project. Good land consolidation planning will lead to effective and economical use of rural space. This is part of the 2030/2050 strategy. Reducing agricultural production costs, lower fuel consumption, and a smaller carbon footprint. This is what Poland and Finland are striving for as countries belonging to the European Union.

This paper analyses the development of agricultural foreign trade in Austria, hungary and the czech republic with the aim of uncovering the changes that have impacted the central European agricultural trade over the ten year period (1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008). it issues from the results of the analysis of agricultural trade in the aforementioned countries, which has changed dramatically in terms of the commodity structure, the territorial structure and primarily the value structure. The main changes to have caused most of the changes to the individual characteristics of agricultural foreign trade in the particular countries under analysis are the process of the EU enlargementy, the adoption of obligations to ensue from the EU membership and the concentration in the internal market of the EU countries. We can see the actual changes in the commodity and territorial structure of the trade carried out in the individual countries under analysis. The changes which have occurred resulted in a dominant share of the member countries of the EU 27 in the agricultural trade of the individual countries under analysis. Key words: czech republic, hungary, Austria, agricultural trade, development, comparison, trendAbstrakt: V příspěvku je analyzován vývoj agrárního zahraničního obchodu rakouska, Maďarska a České republiky s cílem odhalit změny, které postihly středoevropský agrární obchod v posledních deseti letech (1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008). z výsledků analýzy vyplývá, že agrární obchod výše zmíněných zemí velmi výrazně změnil svou jak komoditní, tak i teritoriální a zejména pak hodnotovou strukturu. hlavní změny, které způsobily většinu změn jednotlivých charakteristik agrárního zahraničního obchodu jednotlivých analyzovaných zemí, jsou proces rozšíření EU, přijetí závazků vyplývajících z členství v EU, dále orientace na vnitřní trh zemí EU. V případě jednotlivých analyzovaných zemí lze pozorovat faktické změny v komoditní a teritoriální struktuře realizovaného obchodu. změny, ke kterým došlo, vyústily v dominantní podíl členských zemí EU 27 v rámci agroobchodu jednotlivých analyzovaných států.
