Abstract Slovak food industry has an important place in providing nutrition of the population, and the activities of agro-food complex in Slovakia. Essential element in providing most of the raw materials is Slovak agriculture. The main outlets for the flow of the vast majority of primary agricultural products are Slovak food industry. The success or failures of the food industry in the market are reflected on the marketing of foodstuffs in the domestic and foreign market. The food industry will be successful in domestic and foreign markets as the control and use marketing communication to meet the needs and demands of their existing and potential customers better than its competitors. The results of the food markets directly or indirectly affect retailers and economic success of all manufacturers, involved in food production, including primary agricultural producers. Keywords: marketing, marketing mix, communications mix Introduction The restructuring of the food industry in the Slovak Republic accepts the objectives of industrial policy. This is particularly the reduction of excess capacity and increase competitiveness. The food industry is scattered on the amount of production branches and each of them are different conditions, needs a starting point. To determine those aspects is needed in terms of long term maintenance of the market, marketing departments use to select the correct tools of marketing communication. The most specifically are: the personal selling, sales promotion, public relations, advertising and direct marketing. The current Slovak food industry does not belong to the sectors which we call the "strength" of the economy. It creates a relatively small share of GDP (gross domestic product). Food is closely linked to agriculture. The agro performs important functions. It provides download, storage and processing of agricultural products, manufactured food products and take part in the food supply of the population. It produces around 7-8000 kinds of products for the market needs. Including weight and quality range is about 10,000 kinds of products. Departments of the food industry in Slovakia In the first half of the 21st century, Slovakia became a major producer of passenger cars. Car manufacturing sector is the most significant share of the foreign trade of the Republic. At the same time we are observing increasing food imports. The performance of the Slovak agro sector declined and the country has become an importer of food and other agricultural products. In Table 1 we mentioned fields of food industry. In this paper, we discussed one of the 15 branches food and beverage industries. Examining the situation, addressing current issues and proposals we have made in terms of an important malting company SLADOVŇA a.s., Michalovce.
