Abstract: This paper examines short-term and long-term effects of exchange rate changes on bilateral agricultural foreign trade in the Visegrad countries. Johansen cointegration test is employed to analyze the long-term relationship and VEC model to explore the short-term effects of exchange rate. Dataset covers period 1999 - 2014. Agricultural product groups are based on the SITC classification. Results show only some agricultural sectors significantly connected with exchange rate movements in the long-term. Effects of currency depreciation are ambiguous and cannot be generalized across the analyzed product categories but increasing in particular trade balances after currency depreciation dominates its decreasing.
