“…The orientation of export factor (OE) shows the pro-export specialization of a given country in the specific trade, sector, group of products or a specific product and it is calculated with the following formula (Lubiński et al 1995): where: Ex = a given trade export Q = sale of a given trade in total In the study, the factor of covering import by export (TC) is also calculated (Juchniewicz and Łukiewska 2014), this factor determines the relation of the export value to the import value. Thus it allows to determine in what degree the revenues from the export of products of the given sector cover the expenses incurred for import.…”

Agribusiness is the biggest production sector in the European Union taking into account both the value of turnover and the creation of added value as well as employment size. In this context, the food industry deserves a special distinction. In the publication, the analyses of the food industry competitiveness in Poland are presented. For analysing and assessing competitiveness of the Polish food industry, the following factors were used: the orientation of export (OE), covering of import by export (TC), the import penetration (MP) and the revealed comparative advantages according to the Balassa (RCA) and Lafay (LFI). Th e study also presents the fi ndings of empirical research on an innovative character of the food industry in Poland.

“…Earlier studies confirm that in these countries the food industry plays an important role in national economies and shows comparative advantages in intra-E.U. trade [1]. The high level of competitiveness of the food industry in Central European countries will therefore become an important element in stimulating economic processes and sustainable development in the long term.…”

The competitiveness of the food industry, which is among the most important areas in the Central European economy, is a significant and topical research area in economics. The sector is particularly important for long-term sustainable growth in Central European national economies. Its high competitiveness is an important stabiliser in an environment of global economic instability. This study aimed to assess the relationships between elements of competitive potential and the competitive position of the food industry in E.U. countries. The relationships between these categories were examined using econometric models with the use of panel data. The results of the spatial-temporal modelling of the panel data confirmed the significant impact of production potential on the share of exports, profitability and the synthetic competitive position index, the impact of labour productivity on all analysed competitive position ratios, the impact of labour costs on the trade coverage, profitability and overall competitive position and the positive impact of innovation on profitability. It was found that labour productivity was of the greatest importance in building a competitive position. The results of the research can be used by food industry companies and government authorities in creating competitive advantages for the food industry in international markets.

The concept of competitiveness is explained as a country (firm/entity) can trade its products to meet the required demand of global consumer (like quantity, quality, and price) at the same time to maximize its profit to make the country economically better (Turi Abstract | Cotton is the most considerable non-food cash crop of Pakistan and it contributes significantly to the national income of the country. Cotton supplies raw material to the domestic textile industries and is also exported in the raw and processed form to other countries. Pakistan was a net exporter of cotton but now becomes a net importer due to its continuous domestic consumption and stagnant yield. This study aims to assess the trade competitiveness of cotton crop for the world's 10 leading cotton exporters using revealed comparative advantage indices and relative competitive advantage indices such as Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA), Revealed Symmetric Comparative Advantage (RSCA), Relative Import Advantage (RMA), Relative Export Advantage (RXA) and Relative Trade Advantage (RTA). The data were taken from the International Trade Center (ITC) UN-COMTRADE Statistics of cotton export and import from 2009-18. The findings revealed that Pakistan has a competitive and comparative advantage in exports of cotton while having a disadvantage in imports of cotton and also has no specialization in its exports. The results suggested that Pakistan has to explore new potential markets to strengthen its comparative and competitive advantage as well as raise cotton export earnings.
