| description |
This chapter uses supply chain analysis
(SCA) to identify transport and logistics bottlenecks that
add costs, times and uncertainty to the exportation of
perishable agricultural products from Central America.
Macro-level analyses of logistics performance, including the
logistics performance index, Doing Business Reports and
Enterprise Surveys of the World Bank, as well as the Global
Competitiveness Index of the Global Economic Forum, often
leave policy-makers unclear on exactly what poor performance
means for exporters and producers in Central America. How
does poor road quality eat away at the profit margins of my
country's producers? Extensive procedures add time to
export processes, but how much time? How and to what extend
does this additional time hurt the competitiveness of key
industries? How does this effect vary by product type? By
tracking the movement of seven carefully selected exports,
these supply chains complement macro-level analyses by
answering these questions for some of the region's key
agricultural exports. A range of unique characteristics
makes the success of perishable exports exceedingly
dependent on the efficiency of the related logistics systems
and the ability to connect effectively and reliably to
global supply chains. Remote production zones add cost, time
and variability to transport from the farm gate to the
distribution, collection or processing center. Increasingly
complicated international sanitary and phytosanitary
standards (SPS) add institutional and procedural complexity
to the supply chain. Above all, the time sensitivity of most
perishable products increases the value of time and makes
cold chain infrastructure and the availability of
refrigerated containers essential for successful exportation. |
