AB  - The paper aims at the concentration development of the Czech pork market with support of concentration indices and indexes of inequality. As a data source is used the Czech Statistical Office database with time relevance to 2002 year. In the article are summarized basic indexes for supply and also for demand side of market. Market sides are analysed with and without respect of concentration forms on both side of the market. It targets following of international trends for merging of slaughterhouses and their grouping under the wings of financially strong agri-food holdings in comparison with producer's tendencies to group themselves into the producer's marketing organisations. Thus we can compare situations on the market how it looks like in every case - with and without concentration. Empirical experience then confirmed with the results of used statistical tools for measuring of concentrations, especially Hannah - Kay family indexes, entropy and concentration ratios.
