Implication

Simulation study demonstrates a 45.4% reduction in agrologistics costs via multimodal optimization, indicating substantial efficiency gains for regional agricultural infrastructure.

Key Points

To develop a macro-level digital twin of multimodal agricultural supply chains to optimize freight allocation, address storage deficits, and guide strategic logistics investments.
Integrated 10-meter ESA WorldCover Earth observation data with a multimodal road–rail graph network containing 1.39 million nodes to delineate 135 crop production clusters in the Almaty region.
Utilized linear programming in MATLAB and Green Field Analysis to model freight allocation for 322.2 thousand tons of maize, wheat, and soybeans and determine optimal storage silo locations.
Baseline simulations revealed severe infrastructure constraints, with an existing storage Capacity Coverage Ratio of only 23.8%.
Multimodal road–rail routing optimization decreased the Logistics Cost Index from 8,642,195 to 4,716,175 units, resulting in a 45.4% reduction in logistics costs.
