Abstract
An important condition for the efficient production and marketing of local food products
in mountainous regions is broadly recognised in cooperation between different partners
along the food supply chain. Cooperation between different actors, organisational forms
and sectors is especially important in mountains and less favoured areas characterised by
limited conditions for agriculture and, consequently, where few raw materials are produced.
This article presents a study aimed at identifying the positive effects of cooperation between
actors, organisational forms and sectors in the production and marketing system of local food
products in the Slovenian mountains. Ten products were included in the study. The results
indicate that the presence of the private sector both in the production and marketing system is
an important condition for creating a successful and solid food supply chain.
