Abstract

The enlargement of the European Union resulted in a significant increase in the trade of agro-food products within the UE, particularly among the new Member States. The purpose of this article is to analyse the changes in the values and directions of Polish and Romanian agro-food products trade compared with other EU countries. The study covered agri-food products in general, i.e. sections 1-24 of the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System, which then extracted products of the food industry by breaking them down by individual industries. The analysis was conducted on the basis of trade data from the WITS Comtrade database, expressed in USD. The analysis covered the period of 2003-2013, in most cases – extreme years have been compared. The article shows the position of Poland and Romania in the EU agri-food trade, an analysis of the geographical and commodity structure of the Polish and Romanian agri-food market and the analysis of their reciprocal trade in food have been conducted
