The article considers the types and functions of outsourcing of logistics services in the agro-industrial complex and
the content of each level of the logistics concept of PL based on the International Classification. The article assesses
the state and directions of attracting PL operators in the outsourcing services market in international and domestic
practice, and systematizes the advantages and disadvantages of outsourcing for agro-industrial enterprises. It is
proved that the degree of involvement of PL operators by enterprises depends on the level of development of the
external logistics environment. It is proposed to use the Logistics Performance Index (LPI) to assess the level and
prospects for the development of the outsourcing services market in the agro-industrial complex of Ukraine. The
relationship between the quality of outsourcing services and the estimated indicators of LPI – “Customs”,
“Infrastructure”, “International ships”, “Logistics competence”, “Tracking & tracing”, “Timeliness” - is
established. The identified problems of outsourcing logistics services in the agro-industrial complex of Ukraine and
the reasons for their occurrence made it possible to structure the directions for improving all LPI components in the
context of the prospects for delegating logistics functions to industry intermediaries.
