ABSTRACT

Based on an analysis of selected determinants for the competitiveness and of strategies of the food industries the contribution illustrates similarities and major differences between the food industries of these two countries. It is shown that in both countries measures are necessary to further improve competitiveness. Important strategic means are the continuation of structural change, the strengthening of the position of co-operatives, a consequent orientation towards market developments and a stronger internationalisation.
