The transport process

The importance of transport in agriculture.

Agricultural production, as crop and livestock, due to the large amount of transport work. Transportation costs occupy a significant place in total cost of production of agricultural products. These costs in the cost of agricultural products account for 15 to 40%, and labor costs 30 to 70% depending on natural production conditions and type of cultivated crops.

Very successful can be considered the approach used in the Moscow region last year. Farmers were invited to help transport enterprises, which are engaged in automobile transportation in the Metropolitan area. This is advantageous both to farmers and carriers. For example in the fall the demand for freight transport in Moscow subsides, and carriers sometimes suffer losses. And the work on transportation of agricultural products in the autumn on the contrary is experiencing a serious rise. Cars which even in the summer transported a variety of goods altered for the transportation of fruits and vegetables. The grain is of course unsuitable machines do not carry but plodoovoschnaya products does not tolerate long storage after harvest. In the Moscow region attract trucking companies to work in rural areas for more than 5 years
