Cover Story: This article attempts to identify the main reason for the profitability of Czech food processing companies. For this purpose, an analysis of the profitability of the food industry was carried out in the framework of the structure–conduct–performance (SCP) paradigm. The analysis used data at the micro-economic level of six Nomenclature of Economic Activities (NACE) sub-sectors of the Czech food processing industry in the period 2016–2020. Based on the research carried out, it can be concluded that companies with relatively larger market shares do not have greater market power and thus do not achieve higher profitability. View this paper
