Logistic systems development in agro-industrial complex

 

During the period of Kazakhstan economy transformation along with favorable consequences, resulted from economic liberty of manufacturers and trade-intermediate structures, there were serious negative aspects also. Volume of irrational transportation increased, stability of relations between partners was broken, but multi links in the process of product circulation increased in CIS and between Kazakhstan regions as well. Operation mechanism of the system of state purchases of food, agro provision and leasing of manufacturers is not enough developed, disparity of prices on industrial and agricultural goods is preserved.

Development strategies of agro-industrial complex were not developed for a long time at the level of branches and country regions, that provided deterioration of financial circumstances of economic entities in the period of global financial crisis, slow development of necessary production capacities, and strengthening of social tension, that till the present time leads to outflow of labor pool from depressive rural settlements.

All these accumulated problems over the past decades in agro-industrial complex require system integrated approach for their settlement, that suggests the development of new tools for domestic economy.

Logistics - science and practice of management of material, financial and information flows, becomes more popular in agro-industrial complex branches.

The necessity of logistic systems development in agro-industrial complex is connected with the fact, that agro-industrial complex branches are characterized with production process territorial localization absence. Enterprises of agricultural products processing industry, as a rule, are moved away from the raw materials sources, that makes necessary the physical movement of material flows both at time and in space. In the whole material, financial and information flows have three directions in the structure of agro-industrial complex:

-     Agricultural enterprises and processing industry enterprises ↔ final consumer (food market). Interrelation is made through logistic, i.e. material monetary-information flows;

-     Agricultural enterprises enterprises of food and processing industry (agri supplies market);

-     Agricultural enterprises processing industry enterprises (derivative products market).

Organization of resources provision of agricultural producers and product promotion to the market on the logistics base makes significant economic, social and ecological effect. Essentially logistics should cover all spheres of agro-industrial complex, all economical flows, all logistics chains and all stages of replenishment process. Logistics of agro-industrial complex is the science and practice of economical flows management in the sphere of production, distribution, exchange and consumption of agricultural products. It includes both resources provision of agro-industrial complex and finished products sales. The main purpose of logistics of agro-industrial complex is complete satisfaction of needs of community and national economy with foodstuff, agricultural raw materials and products of its processing. Consequences of logistical costs optimization are:  in the period of seasonal demand upgrade - provision of peak sales through balanced system of products delivery; in the period of decline – cost reduction for commodity stock maintenance, protection of products through providing of special adapted storage conditions. Overcoming of time and space under product promotion, organization of effective service of its delivery – are the main objects of logistics.

Today logistics with reference to marketing is more acceptable control system in economics.  It takes strategic organization position between production and marketing. Price policy and package are combined responsibilities for logistics and marketing. Material resources purchase and finished products delivery – are the examples of interactions of logistics, production and marketing.

As the result nowadays it is insufficient to restrict oneself to enter some or another changes in the production process for competitive growth of native agricultural manufacturers products. Cardinal reconstruction of the system of economic entities production and distributional activity on the base of developed logistic system is required.
