Recently, the most intensive processes related to international trade and movement of population are between the countries and regions that have elaborated models of international cooperation. The intensity of movement depends on inter-governmental agreements and the level of developed transport systems. The synchronized and plannified transport systems ensure the movement of trends of population and trade. This mentioned movement leads towards the studies of transport geography and its object of research. Significant input in transport geography researches were accomplished by prof. Jean Paul Rodrigue, who researched different systems in transport geography, logistics and the territorial distribution of transportation of consignments (Hesse, Rodrigue, 2004). J. P. Rodrigue (2009) argued that changes in transport geography depend on social economic changes in society. The studies of international transportation of the consignments require complex approach of researchers and scientists.
Klasikinė logistika akcentuoja produktų judėjimą nuo gamintojo iki vartotojo, daugiausia dėmesio skiriant transportavimui, sandėliavimui ir atsargų valdymui. Krovinių vežėjai siekia teikti transporto paslaugas mažesnėmis sąnaudomis, tuo suinteresuoti ir jų klientai, tačiau galutiniai vartotojai mažai domisi tuo, kaip produktai gabenami, kokios miestuose spūstys, oro tarša, triukšmas. Ypač neigiamai miestų aplinką veikia dabartinis miesto prekių paskirstymo organizavimas. Žalioji logistika bando suderinti veiksmingą transportavimą su aplinką tausojančiomis miesto logistikos sistemomis. Šiame straipsnyje siekiama ištirti žaliosios logistikos svarbą vartotojų požiūriu. Norint atskleisti Lietuvos vartotojų požiūrį mažiau taršios logistikos taikymą transporto įmonėse, atliktas kiekybinis tyrimas. Tyrimo rezultatai atskleidė, kad vartotojai menkai suvokia žaliosios logistikos termino esmę, nors beveik visi apklaustieji teigė, kad transporto įmonės privalo prisidėti prie aplinkosaugos problemų mažinimo.
Vietnam is an emerging market country in South East Asia. Like many countries in the region Vietnam hasadopted a strategy of export lead growth. Recently Vietnam became a lower middle income country but its goal eventually is to reach high income status. Vietnam is a large food producer and exporter. To reach a higher income level Vietnam needs to increase the value added of its products and export more to high income countries. Is it feasible for producers of advanced food processing solutions, including from Europe, to market their products in Vietnam? This article analyses and assesses the seafood and livestock markets. The conclusions show that there are real opportunities for advanced processing solution providers to sell their products in both fisheries and livestock sectors. Growth potential for these providers in the short run seem to be in fisheries sector, while the medium or long term potential, seems to be in the livestock sector.
