Abstract
The role and significance of agricultural products have been changing over time, both
in the world trade and in global flows of foreign direct investments. The subject of
analysis in this paper will be exactly those two areas, agricultural trade and agriculture
financing through foreign direct investments. Foreign direct investments can contribute
to agricultural performance in different ways, bringing a number of benefits and
potential positive impacts. Therefore, the paper will analyse the flows and volumes
of foreign direct investments in agriculture indicating whether there is potential for
these benefits to be used. The aim of the paper is to investigate the agricultural trade
flows and agricultural foreign direct investment flows and volumes of foreign direct
investments used for agriculture financing in order to determine whether and to what
extent they contribute to agricultural performance.
