Evaluation of transport and logistics schemes for the delivery of perishable goods in the West-Siberian region

The article examines the importance of food security of our country in light of recent economic and political events in the international arena. It is noted that a large number of investment projects are being implemented throughout the country for the development of warehouse infrastructure, as well as the creation of distribution centers for large food retailers. The characteristics and features of the development of the West-Siberian region are considered: its area, average population, length of railways and highways. The relevance of transportation of perishable goods from the distribution center to the nearest consumers on the territory of Novosibirsk and the Novosibirsk region is proved. In the considered example, the development of an international logistics center in Novosibirsk as a major transport hub is considered. The estimation of the forecast value of transportation of food products in the Siberian Federal District is given. It is noted that despite the decrease in the number of residents in some large and medium-sized cities of the West Siberian region, there is an increase in the consumer capacity of perishable goods, as well as other types of food. Options for the transportation of perishable goods are considered, depending on the type of vehicle and the form of ownership. Economic calculations were performed depending on the option of transportation of perishable goods in the West-Siberian Economic region. The economic calculations took into account such significant indicators as: the cost of fuel required for the movement of the vehicle and the operation of the refrigeration unit; the cost of lubricants; costs associated with tire wear; costs associated with the purchase of spare parts; costs associated with the payment of drivers; costs associated with payment for damages, caused to highways (the Plato system). As a result of a comparative analysis of vehicles for transportation, recommendations have been developed on the use of one or another transportation option, depending on the conditions and distance of transportation. It is noted that the use of three medium-tonnage refrigerated trucks with a carrying capacity of 8 tons each turned out to be very expensive, since it is unprofitable for owners of vehicles to lease them for a long-term lease.
