- DESCRIPTION OF THE ACTIVITY
WHY SELECTED FOR CASE STUDY:
Looking at logistics centers in Turkey is advantageous because of similar product and climate for both countries. In addition, the Ministry of Agriculture in Uzbekistan expressed a desire to better understand the Turkish distribution models as opposed to those in the Euro zone. An understanding how Turkey has developed to become a major fruit and vegetable exporter will give Uzbekistan an insight into potential models to modify or adopt to help make Uzbekistan a more successful exporter of horticultural products. DESCRIPTION OF THE ACTIVITY: The Turkish logistics infrastructure shows a high density in the industry clusters Istanbul, Gebze/Kocaeli, Bursa, Izmir, and Ankara. An integrated transportation and logistics strategy, however, was missing in the past. In order to meet its own economic objectives by 2023 and to meet the expectations on being a true Eurasian hub, Turkey needs to increase the efficiency in the transportation sector and has to close gaps in the trans-shipment infrastructure as soon as possible (see also Basev 2011, e.g., the study results). In 2005, the idea to implement 11 intermodal freight centers according to the German-European based Güterverkehrszentrum (GVZ) was put on the official agenda by the Turkish Ministry of Transportation and Communication and TCDD. With support of private equity loans, an amount of about 300 million USD was to be invested in the construction of these freight centers which are considered to contribute significantly towards an additional transportation potential of about 25 million tons. In addition, 5.6 million m² of logistics space will be ramped up for warehousing and value-added service offerings. The 11 freight centers were to be implemented in Istanbul (Halkalı), Izmit (Köseköy), Samsun (Gelemen), Eskişehir (Hasanbey), Kayseri (Boğazköprü), Balıkesi. As of 2014, besides the Ankara logistics center, intermodal freight centers had been established in Samsun (Gelemen), Kaklık (Denizli) and Izmit (Köseköy). 2 THIS CASE STUDY HAS BEEN DEVELOPED FROM A SERIES OF EXCERPTS FROM A REPORT ON “TRANSPORT, LOGISTICS AND SUPPLY CHAIN SERVICES IN TURKEY HTTPS://WWW.UTIKAD.ORG.TR/IMAGES/HIZMETRAPOR/STEFANISKANUTIKAD_TRANSPORTLOGISTICSANDSUPPLYCHAINSERVIC ESINTURKEY-0678.PDF 39 | ASSESSMENT OF REGIONAL AGRI-LOGISTICS CENTERS IN UZBEKISTAN USAID.GOV The Turkish model was successful based on a number of reasons. Access to finance, privatization and experience based management and ownership, the de-centralization of all of the ICC components, and other actions all led to the eventual success. Privatization and de-centralization are among the recommendations for the GoU to consider for the ALCs. The success of the Turkey logistics centers was based on an emphasis of transportation and logistics rather than on production and other processes. This is something to consider, as the GoU looks to structure the planned ALCs in Uzbekistan. The WFLO team believes that an emphasis on transshipment and product movement efficacy will be key to the success of the ALCs in Uzbekistan. In addition, Uzbekistan enjoys the logistical advantage of being central to most of its trading partners. A focus on logistics as a growth industry should be carefully reviewed. Download 1.01 Mb.
