These countries are ranked by the Logistics Performance Index(LPI).
“Based on a worldwide survey of global freight forwarders and express carriers, the Logistics Performance Index is a benchmarking tool developed by the World Bank that measures performance along the logistics supply chain within a country. Allowing for comparisons across 155 countries, the index can help countries identify challenges and opportunities and improve their logistics performance. The World Bank conducts the survey every two years.”

Generally high-income countries have quality infrastructure for trade and commerce. Low-income countries lack basic infrastructure which is a major impediment to growth.
