In course of the research there were studied the feasibility of long-term storage of fruit and berries in cold rooms with controlled atmosphere. As a result of research the recommendations on optimization of procuring and distributing centers in Mogilev region of the Republic of Belarus based on the minimization of the total costs were given. The most important articles of variable costs were identified and their economic interpretation was given. The economic effect of the implementation of the proposed activities and the payback period of the project were calculated.
