The thesis focuses mainly on primary logistic strategies as well as the place and structure of logistic costs in the accounting system of an enterprise. The final element was an analysis of logistic costs on the example of 50 enterprises specialising in agricultural production. The obtained results of empirical studies prove that costs of logistic infrastructure form a significant part of general costs, which can be reduced through proper management. Consequently, as far as the creation of the competitive edge is concerned, it is important to identify and control these costs precisely and continuously in the structure of enterprise operation costs.
