This document focuses on the facilitation
of the logistics of freight transport and the
physical distribution of the exchange of
goods refers to the national logistics
policy and its effective support to
increase competitiveness and
productivity defined under the conpes
3527 national productivity policy and
competitiveness.
BACKGROUND
Decree 2828 of 20062 and Conpes 3439
of 20063 established the parameters for
the organization of the National
Competitiveness System (SNC), where
different actors from the public and
private sectors coordinate efforts and
actions related to the competitiveness
and productivity of the country.
LOGISTIC PROCESS
LOGISTICS CORRIDORS
Logistics platforms are classified
internationally according to whether
they are monomodal, modal or
multimoda.
 Supplying node / wholesaler
 Ground transportation centers
 Distribution logistics area
 Air cargo centers
 Areas of logistic port activities
(ZAL)
 Dry ports
 Multimodal logistics areas
 Services to load
 Services to vehicles
 Services to people and

CENTRAL PROBLEM.
According to data from the European
Economic Community, the value of the
logistics sector amounted to 13.8% of the
Gross Domestic Product - Global GDP in
2005, representing between 10% and
15% of the final cost of an elaborated
product. In Colombia, the productivity of
the country has experienced an important
acceleration in the last decade, going from
a recessive behavior in the last years of
the 90s to positive and growing real
growth rates from the year 2000. As a
result of this trend In the last 2 years, the
real growth of the Colombian GDP has
been even higher than the average of
Latin America.
Logistics Performance Index (LPI) 18 of
the World Bank
On the other hand, and as an explanation
to the above, in the last 10 years,
Colombia's foreign trade of goods
measured as a percentage of GDP, has
increased its share from 24.2% in 1997 to
34.6% in 2007.

This is how, according to the
measurements and indicators presented
previously, it can be defined as a central
problem that the operation of the national
logistics system hinders the insertion, in
terms of efficiency, effectiveness and
opportunity, of national products in local
and international markets, affecting the
productivity and competitiveness of the
country.
PROBLEMATIC AXES.
Weakness in institutionality.
According to data from that report, in
Colombia, the export of a container
requires an average of 6 documents, 24
days and an associated cost of
USD1,067, a process that begins with the
preparation of the original documents and
ends at the time of departure of the vessel.
from a port to its final destination. On the
Action plan
The analysis of logistics needs is
recommended a network of
twenty logistics platforms with potential to
be developed, where it is characterized
the functionality of each identified point.
