Research of state sales of agricultural products in agrarian enterprises helped us to identify and organize the following disadvantages: intermediary structures that are engaged in marketing of agricultural products significantly increase their costs that excess in 2-4 times the original price of agricultural products; inadequacy of agricultural market infrastructure and lack of wholesale and retail markets for agricultural products; low level of development of information electronic communications; backwardness of transport infrastructure and poor quality of roads, particularly in rural areas; high level of physical and moral deterioration of transport; low level of development of industrial and technological base of agricultural enterprises warehousing. Practical implications. We systemized and proposed indicators of evaluation of marketing logistics at enterprises of the agro-industrial complex based on the Balanced Scorecard in key areas: financial and cost-effectiveness indicators; indicators of internal logistics business processes; quality and development staff; indicators in the direction of working with clients. To the financial indicators and indicators of economic efficiency we included such as sales per 1 employer at marketing department (Qs/employer), proportion of logistics cost of marketing in the total cost of the enterprise (%), coefficient of the implementation of marketing plan (Cm), ROI in logistics marketing (%), profitability of marketing channels (%). Internal logistics business processes in enterprises of the agro-industrial complex represented by such indicators as the share of orders that executed late, including objective reasons (%), share of reject (fault of the manufacturer) (%), share of violating the terms of delivery, including objective reasons (%), speed of loading-unloading works (Sp). Indicators of evaluation of marketing logistics in the direction of quality and staff development at enterprises of the agro-industrial complex are characterized by such indicators as share of qualified personnel in marketing department (%), coefficient of employee turnover (Ce), share of expenditure on staff training in marketing department (%), level of investment return of staff training in marketing department (L). As the indicators of evaluation of marketing logistics at enterprises of the agro-industrial complex in the direction of working with clients, we proposed such as the share of stable clients (%), reliability of supply (Csr), speed of customer and clients service (Csp), share of complaints on supply (%). Conclusions. Thus, using the proposed indicators of evaluation of marketing logistics in various areas, management of enterprises of the agro-industrial complex should determine the optimal set of parameters that will allow making realistic assessment of the results of functioning of its marketing logistics.
