About the activities carried out on “Activation of global cooperation in the interests of sustainable development” at the Andijan Institute of Agriculture and Agrotechnologies
A number of large cooperation organizations operating globally in the field of international cooperation on sustainable development are helping each country to achieve the goals of sustainable development by supporting the development of different countries.
The logistics system, which is its lifeblood, is very important in the development of every country’s economy. By optimizing the movement of finished products and raw materials in the domestic market, an effective logistics system ensures the delivery of goods and services in favorable conditions and at low prices for customers, and stimulates competition in the market. In the foreign market, it increases the country’s economic competitiveness and accelerates the process of integration into the world economy. It is very important to organize an effective logistics system for our developing country.
In the logistics efficiency report published by the World Bank in 2018, Uzbekistan ranked 99th among 160 countries. In the development of the report, criteria such as customs efficiency, quality of transport infrastructure, ease of organization of international transport, knowledge and potential of industry experts, ability to track cargo and level of timely delivery of cargo were taken into account.
A large part of the export of our republic is agricultural products and raw materials. They are much cheaper per unit of transport than manufactured goods (for example, a ton of cotton and a ton of finished high-quality textile products). It follows that the percentage share of transportation costs in the final prices of our export products is high, and this means that logistics efficiency is more important in our economy compared to developed countries.
Based on the above, an international project on logistics is being implemented at the Andijan Institute of Agriculture and Agrotechnologies. An international seminar was held at the institute for 5 days from October 23, 2022. The project included the goal of improving educational materials in the field of logistics education. Professors and teachers from more than 20 higher education institutions from Germany, the Netherlands, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan took part in the international seminar.
The guests got acquainted with the conditions created for the students to practice in the intensive garden, fishery, livestock complex belonging to the Andijan Institute of Agriculture and Agro-Technology. They also inspected the existing laboratory rooms in the Department of Agriculture and Forestry of the Faculty of Agrobiology.
