6.1 RELEVANT DESIGN PRINCIPLES
The Indian scheme to develop mega food parks (MFPs) planned to operate in a hub and spoke model. It envisaged a comprehensive backward linkage by tying up with farmers and traders to procure quality raw material from the farms while also offering the opportunity to link with multinational companies and large retailers controlling the entire process from raw material procurement to preservation, testing and transportation facilities. The MFPs integrate backwards with producers and forward with the consumer markets. The Turkish logistics infrastructure shows a high density in the industry clusters Istanbul, Gebze/Kocaeli, Bursa, Izmir, and Ankara, but the country was missing an integrated transportation and logistics strategy. In 2005, 11 intermodal freight centers were put on the government’s official agenda. With support of private equity loans, these freight centers increased transportation potential by approximately 25 million tons. In addition, 5.6 million m² of logistics space will be ramped up for warehousing and value-added service offerings. The Fresh Point case study lays out the operational best practices that will be expected of the ALCs if they wish to provide fresh fruits and vegetables to higher end markets. Planning for the proper location and construction of the facilities represents 50 percent of what is required to ensure the ALCs are successful. The operational practices are the other critical 50 percent. 6.2 APPLICABILITY IN UZBEKISTAN The primary lesson learned from the India case study is the need to understand the demand and design conditions for each facility. The India food park plan was established by the government in a supply-driven model that did not account for the financial viability by negating to examine the availability of land, capital, and labor, as well as the need to seek strong supporting institutions. With a fragmented industry dominated by a large number of small manufacturers, the rentals were too high in the food parks due to 27 | ASSESSMENT OF REGIONAL AGRI-LOGISTICS CENTERS IN UZBEKISTAN USAID.GOV improved infrastructure. Promoters are not able to attract units as there are no direct benefits/incentives available for units to enter them resulting in under-utilization of infrastructure created there. Uzbekistan can learn from the challenges faced within India to lay the foundation for a more viable plan for the ALCs. The Turkish case study presents an example of a successful plan, driven largely by privatization and de- centralization. Rather than emphasizing production and other processes, the logistics centers focused on transportation and logistics. Similarly, in Uzbekistan, the WFLO team believes an emphasis on transshipment and product movement efficacy will be key to the success of the ALCs especially as Uzbekistan enjoys the logistical advantage of being central to most of its trading partners. In WFLO experience, it is common for nascent cold chain industries to disregard best practices in the initial growth phases. However, these practices are critical for countries to compete with sophisticated industries and attract higher-end markets. The practices laid out by the FreshPoint case study should be incorporated into the planning phases of the ALCs. Download 1.01 Mb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
