Directions for Improving the Logistics Activities of Agricultural Enterprises

Abstract. Introduction. The essence and concept of logistics activities of enterprises are analyzed. The current state of logistics enterprises is studied.

Purpose. The purpose of the article is to improve the theoretical aspects of logistics and develop practical measures to improve logical operations at enterprises in the region with their further implementation.

Results. It is proved that there are problems at enterprises, in the logistics activities of the regions: information leakage, control, fraud, delays due to document flow, irrational use of transport, free loading of vehicles and more. We believe that business leaders should implement blockchain technology to optimize the company’s operations and optimize working hours, which will increase the company’s profits. It is necessary to stimulate the introduction of blockchain technology and its promotion in enterprises.

Conclusions. Thus, the mechanism of formation of logistics activities of enterprises should be implemented taking into account the size of the enterprise, production volumes, employees, suppliers and sales channels, both wholesale and retail. However, the development and dissemination of information on the introduction of blockchain technology among enterprises is impossible without coordination and regulation by the state, regulation of this process by law, the use of tools of direct and intermediary influence. Management’s doubts about the ease of implementation and confidentiality of information about the activities of their enterprises inhibit and support the factors of implementation of blockchain technologies among enterprises. But the benefits of implementing blockchain technology are available to both business and society. Therefore, the introduction of blockchain technology modernizes the logistics processes at the enterprise and is becoming more popular every year, which is a consequence of the digitalization of the economy.

Keywords: logistics; supply chains; blockchain; blockchain technologies; digitalization;digital economy.
