ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE NETWORK OF WHOLESALE DISTRIBUTION CENTERS IN THE AGRO-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX OF RUSSIA
The Russian agro-industrial complex is experiencing a shortage of high-quality, technologically advanced warehouse complexes – wholesale and distribution prices for storage and primary processing of agricultural products, raw materials and food.
This problem, with the untimely adoption of measures, ultimately leads to unreasonably high risks of losses among agricultural producers (up to 80% in the country) and to restrictions on the growth of production, the withdrawal of some agricultural producers from the market. In this regard, it is extremely important to develop a network of wholesale distribution centers in the agro-industrial complex of Russia.
The article sets out the results of a study to identify modern trends in the development of a network of wholesale distribution centers in the agro-industrial complex of Russia. Emphasis is placed on the tasks of wholesale distribution centers, designed in the agro-industrial complex: storage of inventories and preservation of their quality; reduction of transportation costs; creating new jobs; improving the functionality of production, increasing the rationality of using the territory of the premises; effective organization of sales of agricultural products; timely and regular delivery of goods to the consumer. The key features of storage of inventories in wholesale distribution centers in the agro-industrial complex are described. The article pays attention to a set of measures on the implementation of which the conservation of the quality of inventories in wholesale distribution centers in the agro-industrial complex depends. The author provides recommendations for improving the efficiency of wholesale distribution centers in the agro-industrial complex and creating new workplaces. The main components of the process of improving the functionality of the production of agricultural products in wholesale distribution centers are disclosed. Features that contribute to the growth of rationality in the use of territory and premises in wholesale distribution centers in the agro-industrial complex are summarized. Components are given, accounting of which is necessary to ensure effective organization of sales in wholesale distribution centers in the agro-industrial complex, timely and regular supply of goods to the consumer. The implementation of the project for the construction of a network of wholesale distribution centers would help ensure food security in Russia. It is stated that wholesale distribution centers in the Russian agro-industrial complex, considered as an important element of the system for supporting the export of agricultural products, are ready to use and increase their export capabilities.
