The aim of this paper was analyse the competitiveness of wood and semi-finished wood products in Slovakia in comparison with selected Central European countries. The research applied the commonly used competitiveness index, the Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) index, to analyse the position and changes in trade competitiveness of Slovakia during the period 2009-2013. Additionally, the Comparative Price Level (CPL) index was used to evaluate the differences in foreign trade prices for industrial roundwood and selected semifinished wood products in order to examine the position of the Slovak wood and wood product trade. The results showed that Slovakia had the strongest comparative advantage in the trade in industrial roundwood due to its sufficient wood resources and competitive prices.
