The aim of this research is to scan the current milk logistics, analyze, than find the gaps and opportunities to optimize the collection process from farmers and distribution to merchants process, from collection centers point of view. The impact of transport in dairy industry value chain, is related with preserving the quality of milk products, time saving, cost cutting through good analysis and finding the right model for collection, cooperation with farmers, also expanding sales through better distribution models, and improving the brand and marketing. Analysis will also provide some important data regarding the infrastructure, from road network in the country, transportation vehicles and cooling infrastructure in the farms. This research explain the process from farmers premises to collection center, than an example of packing, loading and unloading phases, but it doesn’t deal with the milk processing processes inside the collection center.

Dairy industry is considered one of the most dynamic and consolidated industries in agricultural sector within the country, but it face many challenges to compete with products coming from abroad. In the other hand the infrastructure has improved in whole value chain during the years, through the grants from government, European commission, USAID, and other international organizations, but there are plenty of opportunities for improvement. Considering all stakeholders involved in the process, it would be possible to create better model, and systems that allow the industry to grow and be more profitable. The aim of this research is to scan the current milk logistics, analyze, than find the gaps and opportunities to optimize the collection process from farmers and distribution to merchants process, from collection centers point of view. The impact of transport in dairy industry value chain, is related with preserving the quality of milk products, time saving, cost cutting through good analysis and finding the right model for collection, cooperation with farmers, also expanding sales through better distribution models, and improving the brand and marketing. Analysis will also provide some important data regarding the infrastructure, from road network in the country, transportation vehicles and cooling infrastructure in the farms.
