About the project
Public Procurement and Logistics Observatory (PPLO) is a platform for monitoring procurement processes and promoting best practices, initiating a dialogue between relevant stakeholders. It will perform qualitative and quantitative analysis of procurement processes in the Kyrgyz Republic, and share them with government officials and citizens through this portal, and blogs, tweets, newsletters, seminars and training. PPLO will also monitor procurement processes, distribute innovative forms of the public procurement system, and defend the best procurement methods in the Kyrgyz Republic. All this promotes cost savings and improved procurement efficiency.
The vision for institutional strengthen public procurement
The Government of the Kyrgyz Republic ensured the establishment of a public procurement system, and further is making efforts to integrate into global supply chains. Mitigating or overcoming this challenge requires a significant enhance the capacity building of the public procurement system. Existing, various short-term workshops and training courses cannot solve this problem. Therefore, it is necessary to launch educational programs at universities for bachelor, master and doctorate in public procurement.
PPLO - development and establishment of criteria for improving the efficiency of public procurement

Together with students and professionals, we set the following tasks: improving public access to information and events in relation to current public procurement of their processes. Track changes in the procurement system and practices of the Kyrgyz Republic and analysis to improve interactions between all participants in the system government procurement.

Logistics network optimization
Modern logistics is not just about moving goods from point A to point B. It is a complex, multi-layered system that requires a high degree of coordination, technological advancement, and strategic thinking. The presentation by Vyacheslav Chernov, “Logistics Network Optimization”, offers a clear and structured approach to addressing current logistical challenges within corporate management. The document begins with an analysis of the current state of the logistics network at Arrowai Industries. Here, the author highlights typical yet crucial problems such as overloaded warehouses, high transportation costs, and inefficient delivery routes. A SWOT analysis is used to objectively assess the situation, helping to identify both internal and external factors that affect logistical efficiency. This approach not only diagnoses existing weaknesses but also outlines opportunities for growth and innovation. A key focus of the presentation is the concept of designing a logistics network. The author proposes a shift to a hybrid model that combines a central warehouse with regional distribution centers. This solution is justified based on geographical logic and transportation accessibility, which would reduce delivery times and lower operational costs. Special attention is given to the digital transformation of logistics. Vyacheslav emphasizes the need for implementing automated warehouse management systems (WMS) and transportation management systems (TMS). He also suggests the use of GPS technologies, Big Data, and artificial intelligence to forecast demand and optimize delivery routes. This technological approach reflects current trends in logistics and underscores the importance of digitalization in boosting business competitiveness. The financial section of the presentation clearly demonstrates the economic feasibility of the proposed changes. Implementing modern solutions could reduce transportation costs by 15–20%, accelerate delivery by 25%, and decrease warehouse expenses. A return on investment within 1.5 years is projected, making the project both efficient and realistic in terms of implementation. In conclusion, the author provides clear and actionable recommendations, including network optimization, adoption of automated systems, and the use of predictive algorithms. The overarching message of the presentation is persuasive: modern technological solutions not only improve logistics—they make businesses more resilient, agile, and competitive in a rapidly changing world. Thus, Vyacheslav Chernov’s presentation is not just a theoretical exploration of the topic but also a practical guide to transforming logistical processes. It demonstrates a deep understanding of the subject and a focus on tangible results, making it a valuable contribution to the field of supply chain management.

Fruit value chain
Abstract: This paper examines to get a clear picture about the status quo of fruit distribution, to identify current drawbacks, also to develop and to implement an end-to-end distribution system, covering the total value chain from the local farmer in the countryside, through regional consolidation points, through consolidation centers in the oblast up to the export preparation and processing. The study encompasses a conceptual framework for stepwise restructuring and transition to an efficient and responsive fruit value chain, tasks and milestones for implementation, accordingly apply following methods: interviews, document analysis, business process modeling techniques, all classical methods weak points analysis, requirement documentation techniques, workshops, network optimization models, facility locations models, transport optimization models, information flow optimization models and use-value analysis. Increasing the export volume of fruits – increasing foreign exchange revenue Ensuring food quality standards through the total production and distribution network Increasing the efficiency of the total production and distribution network Increasing value generation by integrating addition production processes and logistics services Based upon the increase in quantities, quality, efficiency and value generation: Increasing profitability und income throughout the total distribution and production network: from exporters and distributors to the farmers in the countryside Direct contribution to fighting poverty, especially for people in the countryside JEL codes: F 18
