Logistic system efficiency in middle-sized farms in the South-Eastern part of Romania

Logistic system efficiency in middle-sized farms in the South-Eastern part of Romania

Samenvatting

The following thesis has been written in order to analyze the logistic system present in medium-sized farms in Romania. Once analyzed, the logistic system can be better understood and improved if possible. The main scope of this thesis is to find any possible gaps in the logistic system and find ways to make it more efficient. In order to achieve a good understanding of this topic, the researcher has created a main question which is followed by a set of sub-questions in order to guide the research. The foundation of the research is based on the four sub-questions used. With the information gathered, the researcher managed to see the different perspectives of the farmers and understand how the logistics work in Romania. Furthermore, the information found about logistics in general in Romania has also been of use in order to draw a conclusion. The main findings depict a difficult situation in Romania in regards to logistics. First of all, the road and railway infrastructure in Romania is underdeveloped in comparison to other EU countries (Ipsos.com, 2019) (Eurostat, 2019), fact which impedes the general development of logistics. Secondly, the farmers do not invest in logistics since they are perceived as an option not a necessity (not being cost-effective enough). Furthermore the researcher, through the sub-questions used, found a set of issues related to logistics in most of the medium-sized farms. That being said, the researcher identified a solution proposed by the farmers. To conclude, the logistic system development in Romania is severely affected by the lack of infrastructure in the country. As a result, the possible implementation of such a system in a farm is harder to justify from a cost-effective perspective. A set of recommendations were created in order to improve the logistic situation. The recommendations begin with a simple presentation of theory, so that the farmers will better understand how big companies use logistics as an advantage and end up with the implementation of a silo, as a feasible solution for the problem and the use of European subsidies to make logistics more cost-effective.
