Logistics Strategy for the Great North (Norte Grande)
The Logistics Strategy for the Norte Grande is a commitment to territorial integration for the development of the export potential of the ten provinces of the region. The initiative consists in an analysis of the different productive chains prioritized by the provinces and a diagnosis of the various components of the logistics system. As a result of this approach, appropriate public policies are identified and articulated into an agreed and prioritized regional strategy.
The objective is to improve the production competitiveness of the Norte Grande by enhancing regional logistics performance on the basis of environmental sustainability and social equity. This initiative seeks to promote the development of regional economies by improving the efficiency of regional production chains, which translates into higher productivity, better services, lower costs, greater connectivity, trained human resources and the incorporation of digital technologies.
The Logistics Strategy was developed through the continuous work of technical and political representatives of the ten provinces of the Norte Grande and a team of specialists of the CFI, continuously working on the field, visiting infrastructure and logistics equipment, works in progress and private sector stakeholders. In addition, indicators were developed to measure logistics in terms of performance with the aim of generating tools to make decisions and assess their impact.
In order to see this through, the idea is to improve the levels of services of the different road infrastructure components, promote river services and the use of the port network, promote the sustainability of the railroad system, improve services and connectivity for air cargo and develop the regulations and equipment necessary to diversify users with access to more efficient logistics.
The implementation of the Strategy also implies greater international insertion and access to new markets. For this purpose, the initiative incorporates the aspect of international articulation into each of its lines of work. Within this framework, necessary actions were identified for a better performance of border crossings and export services and regulations, and the bi-oceanic corridors that connect the Norte Grande with international markets were visited through technical missions to Chile and Brazil.
