Methods We review the algorithm for evaluating the competitiveness of the meat processing industry in the Kaliningrad oblast. We examine the current position of the industry, point out some industrial indicators of the industry economics that allow to quantify the competitiveness of the meat processing industry. Upon the evaluation, we assess a combined (integral) competitiveness index that helps analyze how the competitiveness evolves.
