Abstract: The aim of this study is to analyze the factors determining the competitiveness of ports with regard to horticultural produce traffic. A data panel including 27 port authorities over a period of nine years was used. The results show that for traffic of this kind the lower the shipping costs, the higher the level of container and Ro-Ro traffic, the higher the road haulage costs and the greater the dry port capacity the more attractive a port becomes.
