particularly successful in the Netherlands, Spain, the USA, and France. 
The effective functioning of logistics in Western Europe is associated with the creation of a 
system of goods distribution of a pan-European nature, which includes the backbone logistics 
centers of Europe and regional logistics transport and distribution centers. This interaction 
accelerates the movement of products along the main international transport corridors. As a rule, 
distribution logistics centers must be located near the junctions of important national land routes, 
border railway stations, airports, production centers (Japan, Italy, Germany, France) [4]. 
In recent years, automated warehouse systems have become widespread, which make it 
possible to reduce the cost of warehouse personnel, speed up the storage process, rationally use 
space and thereby increase work efficiency [5]. In addition, the processes of transportation 
(unmanned trucks), delivery of goods (drones), etc. are automated. 
A new and very promising direction is the use of innovative voice selection technology in 
distribution centers, which, using a human voice, transfers the required product data (quantity, 
storage address) to the warehouse management system, tasks from the warehouse management 
system to perform operations are also converted into voice commands that are understandable by 
humans [5]. 
In such developed countries as Germany, Canada, USA, France, the largest volumes of 
commodity flows pass through exchanges, where prices are set, information required by market 
participants is provided, issues of standardization, product quality control are resolved, which 
ultimately reduces the level of transaction costs [6]. 
The use of the exchange mechanism in foreign countries made it possible to establish a link 
between the agricultural sector and trade, industry, finance and government (Brazil), and also 
stimulated an increase in agricultural production and stabilized domestic markets (Brazil, China, 
India, Malaysia, South Africa), contributed to the creation of competitive and dynamic markets for 
the export of commercial agricultural products (Malaysia, India, Brazil, South Africa), improving 
the quality (China) and competitiveness (India) of products in world markets. 
The most important infrastructural component of the modern agri-food market of foreign 
countries is information and consulting services (ICS), designed to bring to market entities the 
information they are interested in in full and advise them on production, exchange, distribution, and 
management processes. In countries with a developed market infrastructure, an effective system of 
information services for commodity markets has developed. The widespread dissemination of 
information about trading operations (price, volume, quality, etc.) activates the market.

An important feature is the fact that information and consulting services (financial, 
technological, technical, legal) are provided by both government and commercial consulting 
structures (USA) with the involvement of research institutes, agricultural schools, universities 
(Germany) and the media. at the same time, government services try to complement the services of 
commercial organizations, and not duplicate them. In addition, ICS can be formed on the basis of 
farmer organizations (Finland), universities (USA) and agricultural colleges (Scotland, Germany). 
Currently, online trading platforms - marketplaces - are becoming more widespread. A 
marketplace (online e-commerce marketplace) is an e-commerce platform that provides information 
about a particular product or service of third parties. They have several directions: trade, social, 
auxiliary, administrative, statistical. The main goal of creating such platforms is to create a flexible 
online environment that collects all the necessary information about trade, for example, agricultural 
products, in one place. So, for example, on the international agricultural online exchange Agro-
Market24 manufacturers, distributors. exporters and importers of agricultural products can post 
advertisements for the purchase/sale of a particular agricultural crop [7]. 
An online trading platform AgroDeals has been created in Georgia for the agricultural sector 
in the Black Sea region [8]. It brings together agricultural cooperatives, farmers, retailers and 
wholesalers, exporters and importers. By collecting information about agribusiness, the platform 
helps people in agriculture learn about market demand, trends and various programs to enhance 
their capabilities. 
Marketplaces have become especially popular during the COVID-19 pandemic due to 
restrictions in order to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus infection. Agricultural producers 
were forced to look for additional distribution channels and to rebuild the supply chain almost from 
scratch. So, in China, to solve this problem, agricultural producers were provided with "personal 
accounts" on the TaoBao digital marketplace (a division of the Alibaba Group) [9]. Alibaba has 
developed a coherent supply chain with government support in 17 provinces. Agricultural products, 
depending on the demand in each specific region, were distributed among food bases. The required 
volume of purchases was calculated by the analytical center Alibaba, then data and forecasts were 
transmitted to agricultural producers. Thus, manufacturers received constant updates on the market 
situation. 
It should be noted that in foreign countries, the development of infrastructure elements of the 
agri-food market is directly related to the level of government support. Generalization of foreign 
experience in the development of the infrastructure of the agri-food market made it possible to 
choose as priority areas for the Uzbek market: 

formation of modern transport and logistics infrastructure, incl. creation of distribution 
logistics centers, transport hubs, freight rail and air terminals; 

formation of wholesale agricultural and food markets and exchanges; 

creation of information and consulting services; 

activation of technologies for modernization and innovative development; 

development of electronic commerce, incl. by creating national marketplaces. 
All this is expedient in modern conditions and will help to increase the effectiveness of the 
national agri-food market.
