ПЕРСПЕКТИВИ ВИКОРИСТАННЯ РЕВЕРСИВНОЇ ЛОГІСТИКИ В АГРОПРОМИСЛОВОМУ КОМПЛЕКСІ: ЕКОЛОГІЧНИЙ АСПЕКТ

Abstract

This paper involves the use of the reverse logistics tools to manage reverse flows of grain goods in Ukraine effectively. The object of the study is the reverse logistics. The purpose of the study is the theoretical analysis of reverse logistics in order to implement its tools within agro-industry and assessment of the prospects for that. Methods of the study are the analytical approach and mathematical methods. The reverse supply chain management is a key business strategy of any international manufacturer within such industries as car manufacturing, producing of household appliances and medicine. The reverse logistics is widely used to increase company`s profit and cut down the loses. The authors of this article offer to implement the reverse logistics tools within the agro-industry of Ukraine to efficiently design the reverse supply chain. While analyzing the agricultural businesses in Ukraine, authors found out that using the traditional reverse supply chain can not use the capacity of all the logistics players to the full. The liquidator services are offered in order to maintain value added by the returns of bulk goods. Moreover, considering the sustainability of such a reverse flow we offer to store the returns in the warehouses owned by stevedoring companies located in port of Odessa. In such way the decreasing of gas emissions by 25,2% can be established. The results of the study may be recommended for implementation by every logistics player within the agro-industry of Ukraine.
