Trade Logistics in Egypt and Jordan (Work in Progress
Trade Logistics in Egypt and Jordan Prepared by Peter H. J. Yee (Work in progress - Please do not quote) The findings, interpretations and conclusions expressed in this paper are entirely those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the views of the World Bank, its Executive Directors, or the countries they represent. 1. Introduction The purpose of this paper is twofold: firstly, to review the trade logistics systems of Egypt and Jordan with respect to the level of performance and the degree of friction in the logistics chain; and, secondly, to prescribe policy measures for removing or alleviating the impediments to efficient trade. Two export products, garments and vegetables, for each country are investigated from a supply chain perspective, as measured by logistics costs and processing times. Trade logistics cost is quantified in terms of transport charges and non-transport related logistics costs (capital carrying costs, cost of safety stock, etc.), the latter reflecting the impact of poor service levels in the freight logistics system.1 An efficient trade logistics system has many requisites, such as good transport infrastructure, competitive carriers, competent transport intermediaries, fast cross-border procedures, customer oriented banking and insurance sectors, modern information and communication technology, and a sound legal framework. Above all, good trade logistics needs proficient exporters and importers who are knowledgeable and skilled in international commercial terms, documentary credits, document handling, and multimodal transport arrangements to name a few, so that transaction costs are kept to a minimum through proper handling. Conversely, an inefficient trade logistics system will manifest many sources of friction, notably the areas mentioned previously, slowing down the flow of trade by lengthening the order-to-delivery cycle time with concomitant high deadweight costs.
