Production Amalgamation's "Belaruskali" Potash Delivery System Analysis from Logistic Positions

One of the world's largest potash fertilizer manufacturers is Belarus. Foreign seaports are needed for production transshipment because the nation does not have its own access to the sea, and is also geographically remote from commodity markets. The author analyzes, through logistical consideration derivations, which principles should be used in delivery system design, including its efficiency criterion and the influence of various channels of cargo transportation's volumes, as a whole, on self-organizing system capacity, and the logistic system's synergetic effect. The article considers logistic systems' design using examples from the potash fertilizer industry that in many respects are common to all Byelorussian exporters.
