The development of the domestic agricultural market in the years 1999-2000 corroborated the past development trends. In animal production, in the majority of commodities except slaughter sheep and sheep cheese, domestic consumption and export figures declined and export increased. These trends reflect an unconsolidated situation in animal production and a low competitiveness of the Slovak agricultural animal products in the domestic and foreign markets. The price development in animal products except poultry has also been impacted by the State market intervention. Grain production was exposed to a strong pressure of adverse weather. Oilseeds continued to improve their competitiveness in both the domestic and foreign markets. Grain production allowed for only a limited supply, despite that, it was sufficient to meet the 1999 domestic consumption needs; however, in 2000, grain import proved inevitable. Price development was markedly influenced by the foreign price levels. Further production development is contingent on the improved competitiveness of domestic products in the local and foreign markets.
