We analysed the situation, trends, degree of processing and export competitiveness of agro-food products in Slovenia's international trade in period 2002 - 2007. We used statistical data according to the combined nomenclature of the customs tariff, where agro-food products are classified in the first 24 groups of the system. We divided them into primary (agricultural or non-processed) and secondary (food or processed) commodities, using the UN methodology (BEC Rev. 3) and Eurostat’s conversion tables. Export competitiveness was measured using the Aiginger method based on comparing the quantities, values and prices of products at the lowest level of classification. Our analysis measuring the export competitiveness of Slovenian agro-food products shows an unfavourable situation and development trends.
