Small open economies face the challenge how to improve logistics system in order to stimulate international trade and national competitiveness.
In my opinion, the use of ICT and Industry 4.0 information technologies to improve computerized e-logistics systems and increase the automation of logistics processes are factors in the improvement of logistics systems. In addition, shortening of international logistics chains of supply and sourcing and distribution increased its importance during the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic.

Time is crucial when relief work is involved, which is why we work with international aid organisations like yours to make sure that help reaches your beneficiaries on time, without fail.
In the past three decades, we have built and expanded our international development capabilities so that our partners can quickly move cargo across the globe.
As far as I know, transport by truck is more expensive than a train which is more expensive than a ship. Translated to logistics, that means that if the country is landlocked, it must better had a good railways system and/or rivers deep enough where ships can sail.
That said, the system can work fine is the political relations between neighboring countries are good enough to share hte solution. In europe, the Danube and the Rhin are good examples. In South America, the Paraná river could be a good way for our landlocked countries (Paraguay and Bolivia) but it does not work as fine as it should.
So, in the end, the drive of the problem is the political relation between the neighboring states.

Roads and railway network expansion. Investment in farm to market road and enhancing Intercity transport facilities.
