Today, the logistics centers play an important role in the development of various formats of international interaction at the beginning of the new Millennium. At the present stage, their role is particularly high in the context of integration processes at the regional and global levels. The trends of globalization and regionalization led to the formation of the concept of “global region” and the increasing competition of integration associations for sales markets.

The current fight in the transit transport market in the regions of the world is becoming more complicated, as in modern conditions, competition for transit cargo flows is moving from offering more rational routes and cost-effective services to meeting the geopolitical and geo-economic interests of the main participants.

In this regard, initiatives by individual States or mega-partnerships to build new systems and channels of economic interaction between individual countries and subregions are emerging in regions of the world. It should be understood that the implementation of such projects requires the creation of a new architecture of international transport corridors. Thus, in response to the new challenges of developing economic relations between Europe and Asia, EU leaders began to take steps towards the development of logistics routes on the continent.

The Concept of the pan-European corridor was one of the first to appear as part of the concept of pan-European transport infrastructure and was developed for more than 8 years at the so-called Prague (1991), Cretan (1994) and Helsinki (1997) conferences. Its main goal was to increase the EU’s connectivity with its (back then) potential members – the countries of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). After the Helsinki conference, the content of the pan-European transport and infrastructure network was formulated, which consists of : 1. Trans – European transport network in the EU (TEN-T); 2. 10 pan-European corridors in CEE; 3. 4 pan-European transport zones; 4. TRACECA Eurasian routes.

The implementation of the 10 pan-European corridors program (in 1995 – 2005) was closely linked to integration processes in Europe and the desire to develop pan-European cooperation. Nevertheless, the large number of States in Europe and the borders separating them, and differences in the rules governing international transport, significantly slowed down the cross-border movement of goods.

After the EU enlargement in 2005, a Program was developed to expand the main transport routes (5 logistic roads) to neighboring countries and regions, which were considered as an infrastructure framework for pan-European economic cooperation, which was linked to the future prospects of the EU .

Deepening integration processes within the Union and building up mutual economic and social ties have revealed bottlenecks in European logistics in the form of disparate national projects for its development, lagging in the introduction of intermodal transport technologies, and insufficient coordination of the development of individual modes of transport and improving their environmental friendliness. In order to eliminate these bottlenecks, the EU adopted the Trans – European transport network development program (TEN-T), designed up to 2050.

TEN-T consists of two subsystems: a comprehensive one that provides integrated transport development in the EU countries and a high-speed connection of about a hundred European urban agglomerations, all major seaports, airports and border checkpoints, and a basic one in the form of Trans – European highways, where international traffic is concentrated. There are 9 main logistics hubs: North sea – Baltic; Mediterranean ; Rhine – Danube ; Baltic – Adriatic ; North sea – Mediterranean ; middle East ; Atlantic ; Scandinavia – Mediterranean; Rhine – Alps.

The implementation of the program allows ensuring the smooth functioning of the internal market, economic, social and territorial cohesion of the EU, and improving transport accessibility throughout the Union.

Another EU project to strengthen logistics routes along the EU – Asia line was the TRACECA project created in 1993. Over the past ten years, more than 50 technical assistance and investment projects have been implemented under the TRACECA program, in which 14 States participate, and private investment has exceeded $ 1 billion. In particular, over the past five years, $ 25 million has been invested in the development of the ports of Baku and Turkmenbashi, $ 70 million in Amirabad (Iran), and about $ 100 million in Aktau.

As a result, a significant part of the cargo traffic passing through the Caspian region already goes through TRACECA. However, difficulties in the implementation of the project are also present and the deadline for the corridor to reach full capacity has been pushed back to the 2020s. This project provides for the reconstruction of logistics between Europe, the Caucasus and Central Asia.

Geopolitical changes on the world map and the strengthening of the PRC as one of the main actors in international relations not only in the region, but also in the world, attracted the attention of European political and business circles to a new project put forward by the PRC in 2013 – Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)

According to the Chinese side, the BRI concept should not be considered an integration structure, international or regional organization. This is an initiative of mutually beneficial cooperation and joint development of China and neighboring countries.

The main goal of the project is to redirect the flow of exports of goods and capital to those countries with which China has begun to develop cooperation in the last decade, primarily to countries in Africa and Central Asia and Western Europe. The project’s focus on solving China’s long-term Eurasian problems is clearly visible. After solving numerous political, organizational, financial and other issues, the communication basis of the project should be implemented in the current logistics.

According to the initiators of the project, the New Silk Road should include land and sea components. The land-based silk road, as it was a thousand years ago, will start in Xian (Shaanxi province), then pass through China to Lanzhou (Gansu province), Urumqi district, and cross Central Asia, Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Turkey. Then, passing through the Bosphorus Strait, it will go to Moscow (Russia), continue to Rotterdam and end in Venice (Italy), where it will meet the sea component.

The Maritime Silk Road will start in Quanzhou (Fujiian province), pass through the major cities of southern China, Guangzhou (capital of Guangdong), Beihai (Guangxi) and Haikou (Hainan), reach the Strait of Malacca with a stop in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), cross the Indian ocean with calls in Kal-Kutta (India), Colombo (Sri Lanka) and the Maldives, and reach Nairobi in Kenya. Then it will pass through Djibouti, the Red sea and the Suez canal to Athens (Greece) and then to Venice (Italy), where it will connect with the land route.

Control over two Silk Road routes ensures China’s energy security and helps protect its investments in strategically important regions. In addition, the implementation of the project allows to reduce logistics costs. Thus, it is important for China to ensure the security of East, Central and South – East Asia, on which political and economic stability depends the well-being of a number of border regions of the PRC, as well as the stability of its trade.

The emergence of the Belt and Road Initiative has become the embodiment of a competition of development models that challenges the former role of the EU as a global model of regional integration. “Belt and road” partnerships of ASEAN with major international players (USA, China, Russia, Japan, South Korea), as well as the Trans – Pacific partnership are a set of new initiatives, “significantly different from classical integration schemes, which are formulated in the theory of international relations based on the experience of the EU, and “new regionalism” relying on non-state actors and transnational processes that occur “apart from” state” .

China’s ability to respond with interest to new plans for regional cooperation has become an advantage against the background of the EU’s wary attitude to the BRI, which has led to the involvement of the interests of Central Asian and Eastern European countries in the initiative. Thus, as a consequence of the involvement of the Eastern partnership countries in the Chinese investment zone of influence, the EU and China decided to combine their logistics routes.

Analyzing the Sino – European relations, it can be noted that the current relations between the EU and China are characterized by a comprehensive content of the bilateral agenda. In an effort to strengthen a common foreign policy line in relations with China, in 2015 The EU has developed a document“Elements of a new EU strategy towards China”. A new “Connecting Europe & Asia: The EU Strategy” was adopted in 2018, which specified the European policy towards Asian countries as part of the “connectivity” approach, providing a forum for coordinating EU and Chinese infrastructure investment relating to TEN-T and the BRI.

A key objective of the “Connectivity Platform” is to ensure that investment takes place within a framework of fair and undistorted competition based on regulatory convergence, while promoting cooperation in areas such as technology, engineering, construction and the development of standards.

An important initial area of work for the “Connectivity Platform” is the financing of investment on priority transport corridors. The Sino – EU summit 2016 in Riga (Latvia) provided further confirmation of an increasing focus on BRI – related projects and initiatives. At the closure of the summit, participants declared that they would make concerted efforts to develop synergies between the BRI and relevant EU initiatives such as the Trans – European Transport Network, more generally support the development of transport routes between Europe and Asia, and establish multimodal logistics centres throughout the area of the New Eurasian Land Bridge. They also committed to improving the international supply chain and border crossing rules on key transport corridors and the connection from the Port of Bar (Montenegro) to the railway network in Central and Eastern Europe.

Analysing the logistics along TEN-T, it should be mentioned that the EU has ports on the Black Sea, Mediterranean Sea (including the Aegean, Adriatic, Tyrrhenian and Balearic Seas), North Atlantic Ocean, North Sea and Baltic Sea, providing a wide range of access points for shipping from outside the EU.

Also should be taking into the consideration the possible approaches to the EU by land and sea and the TEN-T core network corridors. Thus rail services between China and the EU currently operate mainly on the route through Russia, Belarus (where they transfer from the Russian, broad gauge (1,520mm) to the standard UIC gauge (1,435mm) at Brest) and Poland, using the North Sea – Baltic TEN-T Core Network Corridor (CNC) at least as far west as Warsaw. In the course of this research, various rail routes from the Far East to the EU were assessed to determine the most likely ones for carrying rail freight in the future. To that end, the attractiveness of the time of the shipment was considered. Based on the above assumption, it was found that, with shipping times to the North Sea up to one week longer than to the Mediterranean Sea, rail would be most attractive for transport to Europe north of the Alps, including to EU Member States bordering the North Sea and Baltic Sea.

Containers carried by rail, therefore, would primarily be those previously shipped to North Sea ports, and would travel along the route from Moscow (Russia) through Brest (Belarus) and Warsaw (Poland) to Berlin (Germany). Containers carried by sea would first pass or call at ports in Southeast Europe, such as Athens/Piraeus in Greece, where they could in principle be transferred to rail for travel further north. However, most freight of sufficiently high value to justify the additional costs of rail across the Balkans would already have switched to overland rail travel across Asia. It would therefore be more cost-effective for the remaining containers at Athens/Piraeus to continue by sea to ports in the north Adriatic Sea, such as Venice and Trieste in Italy, Koper in Slovenia and Rijeka in Croatia.

Assuming that sufficient end – to – end capacity is available between China and the EU, the focus of future rail freight flows, including those attributed to the BRI, is likely to be the North Sea – Baltic TEN-T CNC from Brest to Warsaw(Poland).

Some freight trains through or around Warsaw (Poland) currently continue to Berlin and Duisburg in Germany, but, by 2040, services may diverge to a range of destinations: south via Katowice in Poland to Hungary and Austria, Slovakia and the Czech Republic, and onwards to southern Germany, Switzerland and France; southwest via Łódź and Wrocław in Poland to Germany; west, as at present, via Poznań (Poland) to Germany, and onwards to the Netherlands, Belgium, the United Kingdom and Ireland, and via Hamburg to Denmark and Sweden; and northeast along Rail Baltica to Lithuania, Latvia, Estonian and Finland.

The routes to the west and to the northeast form part of the North Sea – Baltic Core Network Corridor of the TEN-T, which extends from Warsaw west to Berlin, Amsterdam and Rotterdam and north to Tallinn and Helsinki. The North Sea – Baltic Core Network Corridor Study includes estimates of rail freight tonnage crossing the border between Belarus and Poland in 2025. While it is difficult to compare estimates of tonnages and TEUs, the estimates in the Corridor Study appear to be small compared with the potential volume of BRI – related traffic by 2040.

Despite wide range of synegration of TEN-T and BRI, the analysis showed, that the geographical and project scope of the BRI are not clearly defined and that they continue to evolve.

The analysis of potential future traffic flows in this study suggests that the first study should focus on the New Eurasian Land Bridge Corridor connecting with the North Sea – Baltic Core Network Corridor of the TEN-T. This would require dialogue with other organisations already engaged in the development of rail transport routes in Eurasia, in particular CAREC. It would also require engagement with organisations such as UNIFE, representing manufacturers of rail equipment, with an interest in the promotion and application of EU standards beyond its borders.

The analysis of BRI – related traffic flows in the EU suggested that the BRI could generate additional rail freight of approximately 3 million TEU (equivalent to 50 – 60 trains per day or 2 – 3 trains per hour each way) between the Far East and the EU by 2040. Subsequently, it was concluded that the most likely TEN-T corridor to be required to accommodate this traffic would be the North Sea – Baltic Core Network Corridor.

It is not expected that the BRI changes patterns of shipping traffic materially other than to reduce slightly the volume of freight entering the EU via the North Sea Ports. Any effect might be offset by a growth in the shipment of BRI – generated freight across the North Sea to the UK. Nevertheless, it should be noted that maritime trade between China and the EU is already well-established, and that it is not possible to forecast possible changes in related trade patterns as a result of the BRI.

Given these results, and taking account of the uncertainties surrounding the definition and evolution of the BRI, recommendations to address particular constraints or bottlenecks on TEN-T beyond those already highlighted by the corridor studies would be premature. In the absence of greater clarity on the scope and priorities of the BRI, there is a risk that the development of specific investment projects designed to accommodate more traffic on the North Sea – Baltic Core Network Corridor, for example, would prove either inadequate or redundant.

It is also worth noting the issue of stabilization of subsidies for infrastructure and logistics projects of the PRC through the EU – Asia line.

At the same time, the TEN-T Corridor Studies should be reviewed and developed periodically as the work of the “Connectivity Platform” progresses and the BRI is defined more clearly. This would require TEN-T policy to become more outward-looking, with an explicit requirement to take account of major policy initiatives sponsored by countries outside the EU. It could also be facilitated by the development of periodic forecasts of BRI – related traffic, following the model of the European Commission’s Reference Scenario, with forecasts developed under the framework of the “Connectivity Platform” and jointly approved by participating countries.

Despite the presence of problem areas in the development of logistics ties between the EU and China, partners (especially the EU) note that the development of the logistics is greatly influenced by the geopolitical considerations of countries, in particular the desire to strengthen their foreign policy influence through modern infrastructure, reduce the geopolitical risks of entering major markets, and diversify options for communication with world markets. In other words, the dynamics of the developing of the EU – China logistics is a reflection of technological progress in transportation, the progress of globalization and regionalization of the world economy, geopolitical and geo-economic interests of participating countries in the development of international communications.

It should be understood that one of the key advantages of continental cooperation in the Eurasian space is the possibility of developing transport potential and related infrastructure. Work in this direction will lead to a number of positive effects, the main of which are the use of the transit potential of countries, localization of industry along the Trans – Eurasian transport corridors, export development and increased connectivity of inland States and regions.

Constructive interaction between the EU and China on the development of logistics routes in Eurasia shows that participation in the Eurasian cooperation can help the participants of the initiative “consolidate the strategic rear”, provide a basis for the rise of countries and influence the restructuring of the world structure, become a useful platform for global governance and international policy building.

Evaluating the Impact of Minimum Support Price (MSP) on Agricultural Productivity and Efficiency

Published

May 17, 2023

Azeem Hakro

The Minimum Support Price (MSP) mechanism is a policy tool used by governments, especially in the agricultural sector, to protect farmers from market price fluctuations and ensure they receive a minimum income for their produce. The MSP is the guaranteed minimum price at which the government agrees to purchase certain agricultural commodities from farmers.

Before the sowing season, the government announces the MSP for various crops such as wheat, sugarcane, cotton, and oilseeds. The MSP is determined based on factors like production costs, market trends, and demand-supply dynamics. It is generally set higher than the production cost to provide farmers with a reasonable profit margin. Government agencies, such as PASSCO and provincial governments, are responsible for procuring crops from farmers at the MSP. They establish procurement centers where farmers can sell their produce. The government sets specific specifications regarding the quantity and quality of crops eligible for MSP procurement. These specifications may include factors like moisture content, size, and weight to ensure that only high-quality produce is purchased. If the market price for a particular crop falls below the MSP, farmers have the option to sell their produce to the government at the guaranteed price. The price differential between the MSP and the market price is intended to compensate farmers for any losses incurred due to low market prices.

The Agriculture Policy Institute (API), formerly known as the Agriculture Prices Commission, was established in 1981 and reconstituted in 2006 under the Ministry of National Food Security & Research. It plays a crucial role in formulating and evaluating the MSP mechanism. The API conducts research, analyzes market trends, studies production costs, and recommends appropriate MSP levels for various crops. It actively engages with stakeholders such as farmers’ associations, agricultural commodity boards, government procurement agencies, and policymakers, organizing consultations and workshops to gather feedback and foster dialogue on MSP-related policies.

Before 2006, the API was responsible for formulating the MSP for 12 crops including minor and major crops. However, they later shifted their focus primarily to major crops for several reasons. Major crops such as wheat, rice, sugarcane, and cotton have a significant impact on food security and the overall agricultural economy, and thus received more attention and resources compared to minor crops. Limited resources, including financial, administrative, and logistical capacities, may have constrained the government’s ability to cover a wide range of minor crops under the MSP mechanism. Minor crops also face challenges in terms of smaller production volumes, limited market demand, and establishing efficient procurement and marketing systems. The lack of comprehensive data and research on minor crops further complicated the formulation of MSP policies. Additionally, the priorities and interests of stakeholders, including farmers and industry associations, may have influenced the emphasis on major crops within the MSP framework.

The MSP plays a crucial role in the agricultural sector for multiple reasons. Firstly, it offers income security to farmers by guaranteeing a minimum price for their produce, shielding them from financial hardships caused by market fluctuations. This stability encourages farmers to continue their agricultural activities confidently. Secondly, the MSP acts as a powerful incentive for farmers to increase production. With the assurance of a minimum price, farmers are motivated to invest in quality inputs, adopt modern techniques, and expand their cultivation areas, contributing to agricultural growth and food security. Additionally, the MSP allows the government to build buffer stocks, ensuring a steady supply of essential commodities during scarcity or emergencies. It also enables market intervention to prevent sudden price falls caused by oversupply, promoting fair prices for both farmers and consumers while maintaining market stability.

Critics argue that the MSP can distort market dynamics by creating an artificial price, leading to market inefficiencies. Government procurement operations under the MSP can reduce competition and discourage private buyers, hampering market efficiency and private investment in agriculture. Moreover, the MSP imposes a significant financial burden on the government, especially when market prices fall below the MSP, requiring the government to procure surplus produce, manage storage and distribution, and bear associated costs. This strain can negatively impact public finances and the overall fiscal health of the government.

In Pakistan, the MSP for wheat saw a significant increase in the year 2022-23. It rose by 100 percent, reaching Rs 3,900 per 40 kg in Punjab and Rs 4,000 in Sindh, compared to the previous year’s MSP of Rs 1,950 per 40 kg. The significant increase in the MSP was required due to the rising costs of fertilizers, pesticides, machinery rates, fuel and electricity, transportation charges, and labor expenses. These escalating expenses left farmers with no savings under the MSP. Some experts express concern that these high support prices may contribute to inflation and food insecurity among consumers in Pakistan.

Timely announcement of the MSP for crops can have a positive effect on crop production. When the MSP is announced before the cultivation season, farmers can make informed choices about whether to grow wheat or opt for other crops.

In today’s fast-paced and competitive economy, being specialized in one skill may not be enough to achieve success in your career or personal life. Having specific expertise is essential but it is also crucial to develop a broader set of skills to adapt to changing circumstances, to communicate with diverse people, and to avail new opportunities. The 21st-century economy is evolving swiftly, and along with it, the nature of work and the skills required to succeed are changing. The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated these changes, ushering in an increased focus on remote work and gig economy. The pandemic has also highlighted the importance of adaptability and agility in the face of disruption. As we navigate this post-pandemic landscape, it is critical to understand the skills that will be in demand in the future and how the current generation can prepare themselves for the challenges ahead.

One of the most significant shifts in the 21st-century economy is the rise of artificial intelligence. We live in a world of self-driving cars, chatbot assistants, and robot servers and cleaners. This transformation is already underway, and it is expected to accelerate in the coming years. The introduction of ChatGPT and Bard has revolutionized everything from education to business to daily life. Since machines are becoming increasingly capable of predictable tasks, human workers will need to focus on skills that machines cannot replicate, such as creativity, critical thinking, and emotional intelligence. According to a report by McKinsey Global Institute, around 375 million workers worldwide may need to switch occupations or learn new skills by 2030 due to workforce disruptions caused by automation and AI.

Another important trend is the growth of the gig economy and remote work. The pandemic has shown that many jobs can be done from any place, and this trend is likely to continue. The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the trend toward remote work and the gig economy. According to Future Workforce Pulse Report by Upwork, 41.8% of the American workforce was working remotely as of January 2021, up from 30% pre-pandemic. The report anticipated this to rise to 65% in the next 3 years. Due to the lockdown, an increasing amount of people turned to these platforms to continue earning. In its 2020 report, Forbes wrote that the value of a Fiverr share has increased by 356% in 2020 and Upwork recorded a 40% increase in its revenue in the third quarter of 2020. The post-pandemic popularity of platforms like Fiverr & Upwork shows that workers who can adapt to a flexible, remote work environment and have the skills to manage their own time and workload will be in high demand. Meanwhile, the gig economy is anticipated to grow by 17% over the next decade, according to a report by Intuit in 2020.

In addition to these broad trends, there are also specific skills that will be essential to excel in the 21st-century economy. One of the main ones is Digital literacy. As technology continues to play an increasingly central role in the workplace, workers must be comfortable with digital tools and platforms. A person must have sufficient mastery of basic apps and software like Microsoft Office, Canva, Adobe Illustrator, Teams, Zoom, etc. This includes not only technical skills like coding but also the ability to use digital tools to collaborate, communicate, and analyze data. The demand for digital skills is on the rise. A report by Burning Glass Technologies found that in 2020, 71% of middle-skill jobs required digital skills, up from 59% in 2014. McKinsey found out in their 2018 survey that “sixty-two percent of executives believe they will need to retrain or replace more than a quarter of their workforce between now and 2023 due to advancing automation and digitization”. This is evident in recent plans of big-tech firms. Google launched a program called “Grow with Google” to help Americans acquire the digital skills needed for the 21st-century workplace. In 2019, Amazon announced plans to spend $700 million to retrain 100,000 of its employees in skills for the digital age.

Another important skill not to be ignored is communication and collaboration. In a world where remote work and cross-functional teams are the new normal, effective communication and collaboration skills are critical. Workers must be able to communicate clearly and concisely, listen actively, and work effectively with colleagues from diverse backgrounds and cultures. Effective communication and collaboration skills are critical in today’s workplace. The list published by LinkedIn for the most in-demand skills of 2023, ranked communication at number 2 of most demanded skill by companies and hiring managers.

In a rapidly changing economy, workers must be prepared to continually upskill and reskill throughout their careers. This requires a growth mindset and a willingness to embrace new technologies and ways of working. Lifelong learning is becoming increasingly vital to thrive in a professional career. According to a report by the World Economic Forum, 50% of all employees will need reskilling by 2025, and the average employee will need to devote 101 days to reskilling by 2022. It also listed the top skills of 2025, all of them belonging to one of the following four categories: Problem-solving, Self-Management, Working with People, and Technology Use. Many companies are investing in employee training and development programs to meet this need, such as PwC’s “Digital Fitness” program.

The ability to pivot quickly in response to changing circumstances will be essential in the 21st-century economy. This has been reinforced by the pandemic and volatile global situation. Workers must be able to adapt to new roles, industries, and technologies as needed, and be comfortable with uncertainty and ambiguity. The speed of change in the current era is potentially faster. The major challenge confronting every economy, particularly advanced economies, will be to retrain and dispatch millions of mid-career, middle-aged workers which seems like a daunting task.

Preparing for the future of work will require a joint effort from the people, educators, and employers. People must take responsibility for their own learning and development, seek out opportunities to acquire new skills, and stay up-to-date with industry trends. Educators must adapt their curriculum to prepare students for the changing demands of the workplace, emphasizing digital literacy, communication, and critical thinking skills. Employers must create a culture of learning and development, providing employees with the tools and resources they need to succeed in a rapidly evolving economy.

The future of work is uncertain, but one thing is clear: the skills required to succeed in the 21^st-century economy will be different from those that have been valued in the past. Gone are the days when mastering one field guaranteed your professional success. By embracing lifelong learning, cultivating adaptability and agility, and developing the digital literacy and communication skills needed to thrive in a remote, technology-driven workplace, people can prepare themselves for success in the years to come.
