III. Read and translate the following text: Light industry of Ukraine
Ukraine’s light industry today is a powerful diversified complex manufacturing consumer goods and employing nearly 150000 people. It is a socially important economic segment focused at end consumer. With potential capacities of light industry companies, the industry is capable to produce wide range of goods, which can satisfy the entire demand of the domestic market. Light industry enterprises being located in every region of Ukraine concentrate some 7% of the total number of industrial and production potential and 2.4% of production assets.
At the moment light industry of Ukraine embraces more than 10000 companies including 2500 companies in textile industry, approximately 6000 enterprises in the sphere of ready-made garments and furs, as well as about 1500 of companies producing leather articles and leather footwear. Practically all companies of light industry are privatized and merely less than 1% of them is owned by the state.
The industry consists of 17 sectors, possesses powerful production potential capable to produce wide range of consumer goods and industrial use articles, and is aimed at improvement of a life style.
The footwear sector is a diverse industry which covers a wide variety of materials (textile, plastics, rubber and leather) and products from different types of men's, women's and children's footwear to more specialised products like snowboard boots and protective footwear. This diversity of end products corresponds to a multitude of industrial processes, enterprises and market structures.
In accordance with different estimates, footwear market in Ukraine amounts to 100-170 mln pairs with growth of 10-12% per year. Ukraine still did not catch up with the states of European Union by sales of footwear. The index in Western Europe is 6-8 pairs of footwear per capita, while the figure is merely 2.7 pairs per capita in Ukraine.
Export of footwear industry at the moment is stipulated by mainly give-and-take operations or order production. In particular, the largest production volumes of the industry are exported to Italy (approximately 32%), Poland (20%), Russia (16%), and to less extent to Hungary (8%), Germany (6%), and Belarus and Romania (4% to each).
Components for footwear manufacturing, genuine leather shoes, rubber, and plastic footwear are mostly exported during last decades.
Import of footwear to Ukraine almost totally is based on deliveries from China (around 69% of the total footwear import). For many years China remains to be the largest world exporter of textile articles, garments, and footwear, watches, bikes, and sewing machines, etc. Therefore it tops the list of importers in the sphere of light industry practically all over the world.
There are several factories in Ukraine at the moment working on tolling schemes. These are companies in Uzhgorod, Zhytomyr, and Kyiv. Their output is mainly exported to Romania, Slovakia, and Poland. In fact, these companies just assemble shoes from components. Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk regions, and town of Brovary in Kyiv region are other places of shoe production concentration. A lot of smaller companies are located at the territory of former large enterprises on lease terms. Hence, the largest amount of footwear is annually produced of genuine leather (some 17 mln pcs), textile materials and artificial leather – more than 11 mln pcs, and there are less of rubber footwear and shoes of polymer materials – approximately 2 mln pcs.
The investment attractiveness of light industry enterprises in terms of the allocation of capital (such as finance, equipment, or raw stock) lies in the fast return on investments – thanks to short production and sales cycles, quick updating of the product mix, the availability of local raw resources (wool, linen, raw leather) and the potential capacity of the Ukrainian market.
High competitiveness of the national light industry leading enterprises, growing average income, and historical maturity of Ukraine’s light industry allow it to get significant opportunities. Light industry in Ukraine is seriously prospective for further development even with strong competitors on the market.
