Abstract

In the majority of CEFTA countries agricultural trade balance is characterized by an unceasing growth of deficit. Since 1993, export of agricultural products from the Slovak Republic has decreased by SK 1.4 bn and import decreased by SK 1.3 bn (15 per cent) by the year 1996. Agricultural trade deficit worsened by SK 5.2 bn ( 40 per cent). Since 1996 agricultural trade deficit of the Czech Republic, Poland and the Slovak Republic has increased and reached US$ 485 mil., US$ 550 mil. and US$ 396 mil., respectively. Only Hungary achieved agricultural trade surplus ( US$ 1.8 mil.), which is a 30 per cent increase since 1993.
