Structural Changes in the Czech Dairy Industry

Original language description

Significant structural changes have been taking place in the Czech agri-food sector in recent decades, which is especially valid in the dairy industry. The paper responds to this development by analysing the market structure on the Czech dairy market. The aim of the paper is to evaluate the development of market concentration on the dairy market with regard to the dynamics of foreign trade with dairy products in the period 2003-2017. The main dairy processors on the Czech market are identified and market concentration ratio CR4 is calculated with and within the foreign trade adjustment to find out, how import competition affects the overall market share of large dominant firms in the dairy industry. The results show that market concentration in the Czech dairy industry increased in the period 2003-2017 (CR4 was 26.7% in 2003 compared to 41.6% in 2017). Also the import penetration ratio increased significantly (from 11.7% in 2003 to 35.5% in 2017), which means that the demand for dairy products in the Czech Republic is increasingly being met by foreign producers. However, the position of the largest major dairies is not threatened by import competition, as the CR4 indicator adjusted to the foreign trade does not change much (40.8% with the foreign trade adjustment compared to 41.6% without the foreign trade adjustment in 2017). These finding point to a strong position of the main players on the Czech dairy market. As a result, the balance of market power in the commodity chain may be disrupted and cause significant socio-economic implications for all stakeholders, i.e. consumers, agricultural producers, processors, and retail.
