Abstract
The purpose of the paper was to asses changes of competitiveness among three bio-products: winter
wheat, winter rye and winter rape in the year 2008 and 2011. The main research method was a comparative
analysis of absolute and relative competitiveness among these bio-products in the given year. In the year
2008 winter rape had an absolute advantage over the other crops, followed by winter wheat and winter
rye that took the second and third places respectively. In that year the hierarchy of crops according to the
relative competitive advantage criterion was as follows: winter wheat, winter rape and winter rye. In the
year 2011 the criterion of absolute advantage between these bio-products yielded the following order: wheat,
rape and rye, whereas the criterion of relative advantage: wheat, rye and rape. The highest impact on the
improvement of economic benefits of an agricultural holding has the bio-product characterized with the
relative and absolute advantage, followed by the one with the relative advantage.
