“…2) when unequal conditions between the old and the new states in the EU, combined with an incorrect distribution of funds, brought about a large reduction in the number of pigs and cattle, causing the Republic to lose its self-sufficiency in meat production. The dependence on the import of these commodities is deepening (Svatoš, Smutka 2012).…”

Quaestiones Geographicae 32(4), Bogucki Wydawnictwo Naukowe, Poznań, pp. 7-14, 8 figs. DOI 10.2478/quageo-2013-0029, ISSN 0137-477X.abstract: During last two decades Czech agriculture has gone through significant changes: the transition of agriculture in the 1990s and the entrance of the Czech Republic into the EU and its commitment to the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). Both of these changes contributed to the structural and regional differentiation of Czech agriculture and exposed it to competition with the whole of Europe. Furthermore, CAP exposed Czech agriculture to uneven conditions for farmers within the EU. The most significant results of these changes have been a decrease in the agricultural sector output, a reduction in farm animals bred, and shrinkage of arable land. On the other hand, many non-productive and non-agricultural activities in the rural areas are subsidised, which offers farmers new possibilities of development. The aim of this paper is to analyse the structural and spatial change in Czech agriculture between 2000 and 2010 on the basis of Agrocenzus data supplemented by opinions of farmers gained in a series of interviews.

Agriculture is one of the leading and largest economic sectors in the nation of Uzbekistan. The share of employees in the agricultural sector is 33% of the population. The annual growth rate of the agricultural sector is 1.7%, and it accounts for 18% of GDP. Agriculture provides jobs for approximately 15 million people, many of whom are part-time workers. During the years 2000-2018, the value of agrarian trade turnover increased from cc 520 million USD to 2.8 billion USD. This paper examines Uzbek foreign trade in agricultural products from the following perspectives: trade balance of Uzbekistan and international competitiveness. The intention of the paper is to determine changes in the character of agricultural trade. Changes in the product structure are identified, and individual changes are explained. The comparative advantages are analyzed according to different groups of countries (Asian countries without CIS countries, CIS without Asian countries, EU28 without other European countries, other European countries without EU and CIS countries, and developing countries). Agrarian trade competitiveness and territorial and commodity structure changes are analyzed for the last 19 years (2000-2018). The commodity structure of agricultural trade is analyzed on the basis of the standard Harmonized System. The source of information in the article is UN COMTRADE. The analysis is based on the following method and indexes: "product mapping approach" method, Herfindahl-Hirschman index,

Czech Foreign Trade with Meat and Meat ProductsThe meat production and meat processing industry are the most important parts of the agribusiness in the Czech Republic. The problem of the industry is its low competitiveness towards foreign producers and processors which results in negative balance of foreign trade. The aim of the article is to evaluate long-term development of value and structure of Czech foreign trade flows of meat and meat products. ÚvodMaso a masné výrobky jsou základními komponentami výživy. Česká republika má dlouhou tradici v oboru Řezník -uzenář a maso a masné výrobky jsou významnou součástí potravinářského průmyslu. Bohužel se však tato část potravinářského průmyslu potýká na jedné straně s dlouhodobě významnými dovozy masa z okolních zemí [Bašek et al., 2010] a na straně druhé s nízkým zájmem mladých lidí o uplatnění v oboru z důvodu vysoké fyzické náročnosti práce, preference studia zakončeného maturitou před výuč-ním listem a kvůli zhoršení statusu řezníka -uzenáře ve společnosti . Zejména po vstupu ČR na jednotný evropský trh v roce 2004 se nízká konkurenceschopnost českých zpracovatelů masa projevila zápornou bilancí agrárního zahraničního obchodu [Bielik et al., 2013]. Doposud byla provedena řada analýz vývoje a struktury zahraničně-obchodních toků zemědělských komodit [Vološin, Smutka a Selby, 2011;Doubek a Švasta, 2012] 1 Tento článek byl vytvořen za institucionální podpory výzkumné organizace v rámci interního výzkumného projektu ÚZEI č. 1294/2015 "MASO -Strategická analýza oboru zpracování masa a výroby masných výrobků v ČR".* Ústav zemědělské ekonomiky a informací,
