Abstract: Potatoes are one of many agricultural commodities whose realization on the market is connected with considerable swings. Growing areas were decreased, yield per hectare and the total annual production were very low, and potato prices substantially fluctuated. The absence of domestic potato production had to be supplemented by potato import. The passive balance in the foreign trade with this commodity was deepened. The economy of potato production is greatly influenced by state subsidies. The subsidy share in refundment of cost and in incomes without subsidies is high. Profitability of potato production is low. The potatoes grown in Slovakia are not competitive in comparison with the EU countries.
