The analysis of causes of limited carp industry processing is presented in the paper. The main obstacle is the presence of many intermuscular bones in the muscles of products. Cutting intermuscular bones into small pieces that are undetectable in the mouth is the only realistic solution for this problem. The paper describes new possibilities to mechanize this operation in relation to such carp products like carcasses or semi-fillets.
In many sectors of food industry (sugar production, oil production, juices, beer, tobacco, wine, spirits) the level of concentration of production is high. There are few leaders in a given market who control its main parts. However lack of concentration in production still occurs in such sectors as bakery and red meat processing. Moreover, the share of micro firms in mill, fruit and vegetables, confectionery, pasta, sweet and food concentrates sectors is found on the level of 10-15%.
