Abstract

In today's environment, entropy management of logistics processes in agribusiness is becoming increasingly important due to the need for continuous development and changes in the external environment. Effective logistics management is critical for maintaining the sustainable development and competitiveness of agribusiness. This paper analyzes the role of stevedoring companies, which play a key role in ensuring the reliability and sustainability of supply chains. The paper also considers aspects related to the regulatory framework and the need to improve it to increase the flexibility and adaptability of stevedoring companies in crisis situations. The study was conducted using a systematic approach, which includes an analysis of economic and political conditions, as well as specific aspects of logistics processes in the agribusiness of Ukraine. The article focuses on the management of entropy processes and their impact on the efficiency of logistics operations. It highlights that the proper organization of logistics processes helps to minimize losses and increase the efficiency of supply, which is key for agribusiness in the context of constant development and change. It is shown that stevedoring companies, due to their ability to adapt to changes, have a significant impact on the efficiency of logistics operations and the economic performance of agribusiness.

The study found that effective management of entropy processes is crucial for supporting the sustainable development of agribusiness in Ukraine. It emphasizes the need to harmonize Ukrainian legislation with international standards to improve the business environment and attract foreign investors.

Thus, the study emphasizes the importance of entropy support for logistics processes in agribusiness and the role of stevedoring companies in ensuring the sustainability and competitiveness of this sector in the context of constant change and development.
