At least 10% of shelf prices of products in Romanian stores areaccounted for by logistic costs, namely transport and storage,compared with 4-6% in the Netherlands and France, says Robin J.Martens, general manager of Archicom, a Dutch logisticconsultancy.
"Most Romanian producers or importers handle transport andlogistics themselves. According to our data, just 8% of thecompanies on the Romanian market have outsourced their transportand logistics operations, compared with 80% in France," statedMartens during a logistics workshop. He specified that thedistribution networks of importers are not very efficient, thusleading to rising shelf prices.
In his opinion, the number of intermediaries distributing a productneeds to be reduced in order to boost distribution efficiency andimplicitly lowering costs and spurring profit.
