Formation of logistic integrated distribution centers of agricultural production

The problem of selling agricultural products has always been acute for agrarians, it is at the regional level that commodity producers are disunited and sell their products, often without knowing the state of market prices. The lack of interconnection between agricultural producers, processing industry and trade; Price pressure exerted on agrarians by intermediaries and speculators; Low competitiveness of domestic products, due to the lack of proper methods of storage, modification, sorting; Unsustainable sale of most small agricultural producers all this makes it important to create logistics integrated distribution centers (LIRTC) of agricultural products. The lack of a systemic approach, the lack of organizational and methodological support for the formation of LIRC agricultural products, the fragmented nature of applied recommendations are the reasons for the lack of a coherent mechanism for the formation of such centers on the basis of regions. Analysis of the semantics of the term “distribution center” is carried out, on the basis of the analysis carried out, the existing definition of the “distribution center” is added. The author's definition of the term “logistic integrated distribution center” of agricultural products is formulated. On the basis of the analysis of the existing classifications of the "distribution center", a set of classification characteristics was outlined, systematized and supplemented.
