Best regards

Logistics also plays a key role in the economy in that it supports the movement and flow of many economic transactions. It is an important activity with regard to the facilitation of the sale of practically all goods and services.

Logistics is a very broad subject, as it determines the entire flow of goods. Many developing countries, yet, do not have a full net of distribution, as many business have grow more recently (when compared to developed countries).

The infrastructure to deliver goods with reliability and on-time is specially important on today's scenario where most of materials are planned just in time for optimization of capital usage.

Areas that face higher or uncertain lead times will have to mobilize more cash to keep the operation running and might end-up not being competitive/ on top of that poor logistic infrasctrucutres might be more expensive by itself and business that require more certainty on their production might end up expending more initial CAPEX to make sure suppliers are nearby.
