The purpose of this paper is to clarify the meanings of "competitiveness", explain the factors that form the competitiveness, to examine the relationship between the concept of competitiveness and trade theory, and to introduce several ways to measure this. It is essential that we understand the concept of "competitiveness" under a definition that is widely accepted. First, competitiveness means not only large market share but also high profitability. Second, competitiveness should be understood as a dynamic concept, not a static concept. The third point is that it should be considered including non-price factors, and the fourth is that it is important to consider the state of demand. To consider profitability in addition to market share means that not only comparative advantage but also absolute advantage is regarded as a key element of competitiveness. In measuring competitiveness, these two different elements should be measured quantitatively. With respect to the dynamic aspects, the basic starting point should be careful examination of the individual dispositions of natural resources. On the other hand, changeable factors should be considered through predictions far ahead into the future. The above should be adopted even in the agriculture sector, where the possibility of technological innovation is relatively rare compared with high technology sectors.
