By performing the research study of the impact of the bread market concentration on prices the social and economic threats of market concentration were clarified, the Lithuanian bread market was defined, the trends of retail price structure and the reasons that caused these changes were analyzed, the level of the bread market concentration was estimated and the impact of this concentration on competitiveness and prices was assessed. There are 4 big and 241 small and medium - sized bakeries operating in Lithuania. According to the Herfindahl - Hirschmann method, it was found that the Lithuanian bread market is not concentrated due to the large number of small and medium - sized bakeries and monopolistic competition should prevail in this market. However, the big bakeries, that occupy 30-50 per cent of the Lithuanian bread market, have a big influence to form supply and impose prices. By using Correlation and Regression analysis it was found that the estimated correlation signal strength of changes in grain purchase and oil product sale prices and it's impact on changes in prices of grain products in 2006-2009 revealed that only about one - third of the price increase could be justified on objective grounds, Hile the other two thirds - on subjective desicions of producers and traders. These desicions are specific to the Lithuanian bread market, where the features of oligopolistic competitiveness are intensifying. Cartels and their consequences are possible in such a market. According to the results of the research study, it was suggested that the legislative provisions that enable a predominant company position on the market, by occupying a smaller share of the market, could be specified.

The publication "Agricultural and Food Sector in Lithuania 2014" is the sixteenth edition of the annual publications by the Lithuanian Institute of Agrarian Economics (LIAE). This analytical economic survey of agriculture, processing industry and fisheries was prepared referring to the statistical information, accountability data of companies, and the findings of research conducted by the LIAE staff. The year 2014, full of ordeals, changes and challenges, was complicated for Lithuania's agriculture and food sector. A decline in agricultural product purchase prices resulted in a drop of gross output (at current prices) by 7.7%. Export of agricultural and food products also went down, even though export in products of Lithuanian origin in 2014 was by 0.7% higher as compared to 2013. Balance of foreign trade in agricultural and food products has been positive since 2004. In 2014, it was 1.8 times higher than in 2010 and amounted to EUR 963 million. National agricultural development was further encouraged by the European Union (EU) and national budget support. Due to delay in funding of the 2014–2020 period measures, the amount of funds allocated for 2014 agricultural direct and investment support, intervention and other market regulation measures was lower by 6.5% than 2013. The publication provides the five-year period variations in the agricultural and food sector development indicators, special attention focusing on the events and outcomes in 2014, except a review "Achievements of the agricultural and agri-food sector in the framework of the objectives of the CAP over the EU membership decade". Pursuing the opportunity to compare the key tendencies, data in all surveys is provided following the single methodology and structure. As in any previous year, some preliminary statistical indicators for the year 2014 were used. Final economic and financial outcomes will be reflected in the later publications of the Department of Statistics and in the next-year LIAE survey. Insignificant deviations due to rounding are possible in statistical data.
