THE NECESSITY OF INVOLVING AND EXPLOITING ALTERNATIVE ROADS IN RA AGRO-LOGISTIC SYSTEM

Abstract

The problems existing in the RA agro-logistic system are numerous and diverse, which are caused not only by the geographical position and geopolitical developments of the Republic of Armenia, but also by the lack of diversity in the organization of cargo transportation in this field. Taking into account that in the total volume of cargo transportation of the country, road transport makes up more than 70% in 2022, the identification and exploitation of optimal alternative roads is more than important. In this article, it is proposed to use the Black Sea ports as an alternative, through which a significant amount of cargo will be transported in both directions to the Russian Federation and a number of European countries. Although these waterways will be inferior to traditional land routes from a financial point of view, the mentioned alternative routes will primarily solve the food security problems of RA, as well as open up wide perspectives for both resident and foreign business entities to expand their scope of activities.
