Abstract
Small farmers in the European Union experience problems placing their produce in international food store chains (hyper- and supermarkets) because they are unable to compete with larger producers on price and quantity. Associations, unions or similar groups of small farmers are fragmented in Slovakia. While there are a number of associations established around a certain commodity or a particular region or location, their bargaining powers vis-à-vis international food store chains, or local, regional or national authorities, are relatively small.
