Abstract

Optimizing transportation of agricultural products plays an important role in reducing 4production costs and market margins for these products. The Khorasan Razavi province is one of the major provinces of the country in the production of vegetables. Due to the wide range of vegetables produced in the province, an efficient transportation network is required in order to increase productivity of machinery and reduce the associated costs. The aim of the present study is to design an optimal network for transporting products such as tomatoes, squash, cucumbers and egg plants from production areas in the province to maintenance centers and ultimate consumption areas in 2016. To this end, the Mathematical programming models of transportation were used. A combined transportation network that has 35 source notes and 49 destination nodes and a number of mid-nodes including warehouse and refrigerator was designed. The optimized network that was presented for product transfer eliminates some duplicate routes and shipping, and adds some new paths that have the least increase in distance travelled. This will result in a reduction of 1. 45% and 1. 25% in transportation costs, taking into account the 5% increase in production and 30% increase in machinery capacity.
