The results of research on the state of logistics in agri-food industry enterprises are presented. The situation in the area of inventory management and warehouse management, transport, information management and packaging management was recognized. It was found that the agro-food industry faces problems caused by dispersal of suppliers, uses diverse solutions in the field of procurement, inventory management, storage, transport, customer and consumer relations, or the use of decision support systems and IT networks.
