    ENG: The purpose of the paper is to assess the competitiveness of road and rail transport for the transportation of perishable foods in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The study analyzed food consumption and production, as well as the transport network of the Republic of Kazakhstan. An assessment was made of the costs of transporting perishable foods by road, as well as by rail in railway cars and container trains. The modes of transportation were established, and it was found that the transportation of fresh food products in container trains is competitive with road transportation. The scientific novelty of the work is that it improves the method for assessing the competitiveness of road and rail transport for the transportation of fresh food products. The proposed method differs from existing ones in that it takes into account the loss of consumer value of food products over time while also considering the presence of competition by sources when choosing a type of transport. The practical value of the work is that it establishes the types of food products and directions of their transportation, the performance of which is advisable to carry out by container trains in the Republic of Kazakhstan.
