As alternative approach to the globalized and complex food system, the local or national food systems, which are expected to bring environmental, economic and social benefits, are often presented. This study aimed to present the methodology for the precise calculation of market shares of all and individual domestic dairy products on the internal market, to calculate the market shares of all domestic dairy products, drinking milk, butter and cheeses in Lithuania over the last years (from 2012 to 2016) and to analyse the underlying causes of market share changes. Between 2012 and 2016, the market share of all domestic dairy products in Lithuania decreased from 85% to 82%. The underlying cause of market share changes was linked to the differences in prices between domestic and imported dairy products.
Key words: local food, domestic food, dairy products, domestic dairy products, market share, Lithuania.
