Ukraine’s economy: The glass is mostly full
« Reply #775 on: May 11, 2016, 08:32:36 PM »
Despite some who are intent on suppressing any positive news out of Ukraine- the positives keep coming. Progress is being made-in spite of all the difficulties.


Ukraine’s economy: The glass is mostly full

Despite Ukraine’s recent political turmoil, Jaresko hopes the West will stay engaged and press for more reform. She believes progressive forces within Ukraine’s government will prevail — “it is only a question of speed and time.”

It seems more that just a pity that Jaresko has effectively been forced out of the job where she was performing miracles that outstrip the loaves and fishes.

Ukraine's so bad that Russia wants to buy a license to build Ukrainian 'Antonov  AN-140"aircraft. . Aviacor, a Rusian company in Samara is now running out of the Ukrainian parts needed to build the An-140 there.

Based on designs by ethnic Russians. :-\ :-\

I don't think Antonov is building aircraft now.  I don't know if they are even manufacturing parts.

Boe, we drove past there last winter and I did see some activity. Not a lot but some.  They came out with a fresh design recently and the debut went over well from what I read.

Yes, it's about a month ago it was shown.

No - April last year.  Launch customer is Silk Way Airlines of Azerbaijan, and the first military customer is the Royal Saudi Air Force.

For some who seem intent on seeing nothing good in or about Ukraine- or the fact that much change is happening-the following is  quite an interesting list of investment in Ukraine-- and how it is making an impact.
Large scale investment can make the international news but this type and size is more the local area news type material . Historically many industries and factories were very old and outdated in every respect-making them inefficient and unsustainable.
With the events of the last 2 years giving more confidence to international investment-the smart money has backed Ukraine getting it politically right--even if that is a torturous journey. That investment will be the cornerstone of a "new" Ukrainian economy.


Here is the story-- this is quite long-it is a translation-- no link as such is available-it is not copyright - and very worth reading and directly related to the thread topic.

Quoting

"10 Ukrainian factories, which have not yet one year old if still think that all plants in Ukraine - the merits of the USSR, and now they only rob, ravage and close, then know this: we started new businesses. And they aim to reduce the need for imported goods, and sell their products abroad. Although complaints curtailing production is now easier to hear than the reports about the launch of new lines of Ukrainian industry is not bent. Foreign investment and loans have become the basis for new businesses.

1. Allseeds year produces 240 million liters of sunflower oil Region: Yuzhny, Odessa region. Opening date: June 2015 New extraction plant LLC "Allseeds Black Sea" covers 28 hectares and its capacity to process up to 800 thousand tons of sunflower seeds per year.. At the same time the elevator is placed about 46 thousand. Tonnes. And it is located near the port "Southern" Odessa region - close to the point of loading on ships. The plant and the terminal for transshipment of oil $ 200 million invested Allseeds group companies. For foreign investment through the factory equipped with modern Italian, German, Belgian and Swiss equipment. Quality of raw material at the plant controlled by an independent Dutch laboratory.

 2. "Mais" - a first draft of the national seed companies Region: a. . Zaitseva, Dnepropetrovsk region Opening date: June 2015 The construction of a new seed plant invested over UAH 100 million, a third of this sum took a loan from the German bank BHF under the guarantee of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development... Under the project, the plant capacity is one-half to 1 million units of crop -. and it is 10-20% of the Ukrainian market needs. The plant has two "modes": starts or standard full technological cycle, and performs three different operations at the same time with three kinds of seeds. The company "Mais" is planning to build two seed plant in different regions of Ukraine.

3. The biogas plant "agricultural products" the company will provide "green" electricity to 800 households Region: n Rakitnoe, Kyiv region.. Opening Date: October 2015 New biogas plant converts organic waste whose energy goes to heating the local settlements and the greenhouses. And he plans to deliver ecological fertilizer for agriculture. So far only launched primarily future biogas complex, so that now the plant produces only a part of the planned "green" fuel. However, for Ukraine it is already the most powerful biogas plant and one of the most productive in the eastern part of the EU countries. The raw material for the biogas plant is a pulp and other organic waste. Of these, a chemical reaction produces a gas that is converted into electricity. Thus there is a process of cogeneration - generation and electric and thermal energy. According to the calculations of engineers, from 44 m3 of the gas turns 19 MW of electricity and the same amount of thermal energy.

4. "Interagrosystems" first in Ukraine produces fries Region: city of Mena, Chernihiv region. Opening date: September 2015 This plant semis built in a joint Ukrainian-Turkish project. The Ukrainian side has invested 48 million USD, the foreign partners -. 2.5 million euros Potatoes for the plant is grown in the fields "Interagrosystems" and purchased from local farmers. The production line operates in three shifts, 50 people in it are involved. And for planting, harvesting and potato sorting involved another hundred. The plant will process up to 100 tonnes of potatoes per year than almost provide domestic cafes and restaurants are semi-finished goods for the production of French fries -. Now Ukraine imports of semi-finished products for 500 million USD.

5. Puratos will export almost half of its production Region: Odessa. Opening date: May 19 International Puratos Group has invested in a factory for the production of margarine and dry mixes for bakery and confectionery industry 7 million euros. 40% of production goes for export. The plant will operate on "environmentally friendly" technology, its equipment is also not harmful to the environment.

6. "Ukrainian Sawmills" recycles wood, which previously exported region: city Kostopil, Rivne region. Opening Date: April 2016 The factory plans to produce pine edged boards from which further make carpentry, furniture and building materials. The capacity of the enterprise - 300 thousand. m³ of sawn timber. In the year 150, it creates jobs and attracts 20 million. Euro investments to the region. Above the construction object worked Ukrainians, Finns and Swedes. This is one of the largest investment projects in the Rivne region in the last 7 years.

 7. PJSC "Ternopil quarry" will reduce the need for imported stone Region: a. . Galuschintsi, Ternopil region Opening date: January 2016 to implement the project attracted around 19 million USD .: 15 million investment and 4 million of credit... A new plant design capacity of 1 million tons per year.. This should replace the imported stone, which previously blocked the low production of its raw materials.

 8. TM Ondo offers a cheaper replacement ceramic tile Region: g. Ivano-Frankivsk Opening date: August 2015 The new plant produces cement-sand tiles. Its cost is four times lower than that of ceramic. But compared to the metal tile, "concrete" by 10-20% more expensive. The company invested $ 1 million., Which was built by 2 thousand. M² production facilities and purchased equipment European company Vortex Hydra. Exit at full capacity, which is 250 thousand. M2 of tiles per year, the company plans in the next year.

 9. Fujikura manufactures cables in Ukraine according to Japanese standards of quality Region: Lviv Date of opening: April 2016 Ltd. "Fujikura Automotive Ukraine Lviv" was founded in November 2013, the Japanese company Fujikura Ltd., which manufactures cable networks for European automotive manufacturers. Specialization Ukrainian plant became avtoprovodka for the Volkswagen brand. For a week produce about a million cables. To build it, it took 87 million USD of foreign investments. With this money to build a complex for the production of electrical components area of 7 thousand sq. M. m, and an administrative building - 1,8 thousand sq. m. m.
In the next two months plans to expand the production area to 11.5 thousand sq. m. m. The work at the plant will get 3 thousand. pers.

10. "Biopharma" 100% population of Ukraine will provide domestic drugs from plasma region: White Church, Kiev region. Opening date: June 2016 New biopharmaceutical complex was built "from scratch" quickly - in 1.3 years. For this Ukrainian and foreign investors: the US company Horizon Capital and the Dutch FMO development bank - invested 40 million dollars..
 
The factory has designed the German company Linde Engineering, he meets the requirements of Good Manufacturing Practice standard, which is mandatory for all EU countries. The plans to build another and plant for processing of blood plasma -. $ 30 million for this additional investing.
 
The new plant to triple production capacity for plasma processing companies, which now account for 90 tonnes per year. That's enough whining about the fact that we have new industrial giants - at least because of the lamentations will not notice the changes for the better. After a dozen new private enterprises, even if some of them are small, can bring benefit more than non-competitive giants of the past."


UKRAINIAN PROSTIR

Also of interest is an Australian assessment of of future Ukrainian grain production.This is also of interest to other large producers like Canada and the USA.

Ukraine has a rich vein of human talent and energy


"Ukraine is achieving high annual
increases in wheat production with
virtually no change in the area sown
to wheat over the past decade,
whereas Australian wheat production
growth since the 1990s has come from
increased plantings as well as increased
productivity per hectare. Larger areas
in Ukraine could be drawn into wheat
production if an incentive to change
the current mix of crops on Ukrainian
farms arises. In comparison, there is
little potential for Australia to further
increase the area planted to wheat to
any substantial degree. Moreover, many
Ukrainian grain growers are yet to fully
embrace the kinds of modern farming
methods that will reduce their cost of
production and improve yield stability.
Clearly, if this were to occur, there is
significant scope for Ukraine to enhance
the international competitiveness of its
wheat exports, just through increasing
farm productivity"

Interesting new billboards in Moscow: a soldier father is leaning down to tell his son, the kid is also in military uniform, that security is a lifelong endeavour that must be passed on from generation to generation.

It ties into the obvious "almost references" to Eastern Ukraine (illegal to speak of openly), and of Russia's adventures in Syria. The colours, fonts, and themes are designed to dovetail with the "Save the Children" type ads regarding Donbass.

The US has been paying $billions for Russian launch rocket engine. It can only be a matter of time before that arrangement will end,
Ukraine has proposed that Kyiv and the United States jointly develop and produce a rocket engine to replace Russian rocket engines currently used to launch U.S. military satellites.

Dethroning Ukraine’s Oligarchs
« Reply #794 on: June 14, 2016, 05:24:14 PM »
After Maidan I was hopeful that the overwhelming support for reform would garner support from all quarters in everyone's best interests.
Gradually- self interest has again overtaken what should be the bigger picture issues .My view was that it could have been good for everyone-unfortunately for some it has proven they are incapable of giving-- even to get more!
Ukraine’s oligarchs are its biggest problem. If there is a single obstacle to establishing a functioning state, a sound economy, and true democratic accountability, it is the tycoons who control the country.

Calls to finally stamp out their influence are growing ever louder and more numerous. But few observers have offered workable plans for doing so. With that in mind, here is a roadmap for how it can be done.


Dethroning Ukraine’s Oligarchs
: A How-To Guide
None of the country’s reforms can succeed while the oligarchs still rule.

Real reform does not stand a chance unless the tycoons suffer a severe blow to their wealth and influence. For that to happen, the following four steps must occur.

I think you are right that they have to control the corruption and replace most if not all
of the existing politicians (it would be good for the USA to do the same)

The war between Moscow and Ukraine grinds on in the east, but the rest of the gigantic country is on the move. The people of Ukraine supported the Revolution of Dignity in 2014 that overthrew a corrupt leader, and in the past two years have turned their energy toward reforms in Parliament as well as to building their economy through innovation and entrepreneurship, notably in technology.

Turning Ukraine from ‘the world’s bread basket to the world’s brain basket’

The resilience of Ukrainians is awe-inspiring, given the dislocation of 1.5 million from the war-torn east, and the country is moving quickly into the emerging economies of the future, thanks to its highly motivated and educated young people.

Three recent and significant deals have turned the tech world’s attention toward Ukraine. In September, Snapchat paid US$150 million to buy a two-year-old Ukrainian startup in Odesa called Looksery and, just before that, Google paid US$45 million for facial recognition company Viewdle. Then in November, financier George Soros acquired a stake in Ciklum Holding Limited in Kyiv, an IT outsourcing company with 2,500 software engineers, architects and technologists

There is not much doubt that the long term direction of parting direction with Russia is THE way to rid Ukraine of the Russian shadow,Making Ukraine a better place to live is the easiest way( even if that path is not so easy) to win the support of the people that matter -Ukrainians !
Quoting -Marie L. Yovanovitch who  is slated to become the next U.S. ambassador to Ukraine.

"Just as we stand firmly behind the Ukrainian people in their efforts to transform their nation, we stand with Ukraine as it seeks to reform its military, stopfurther Russian aggression, bring the conflict in the Donbas to a peaceful conclusion via the Minsk agreements, and end the occupation of Crimea."

The best defense against Russian aggression is a successful Ukraine.

But of course, much work remains to be done. Ukraine still has to implement difficult changes such as: taking further steps to root out corruption; advancing energy sector reform; recapitalizing and reforming the banking system; working to improve the business climate by levelling the playing field; improving accountability and civilian control in the defense sector; reforming the PGO and justice sector; and breaking the hold of oligarchs over Ukrainian politics and business. Ukraine must also continue to adhere to IMF conditions and ensure that the $17.5 billion program continues.

Why Investors Believe In Ukraine's Potential
« Reply #798 on: June 26, 2016, 10:24:32 PM »



Despite the difficult economic situation in Ukraine, long stagnation, conflicts in  Eastern Ukraine, we are now witnessing the implementation of major investment projects into Ukrainian ports infrastructure]


Why Investors Believe In Ukraine's Potential

We support infrastructural reforms of the Governmen to Ukraine, including focus on preserving and refurbishing road infrastructure. At the same time we are working together on removing business impediments. One of such hurdles is ineffective and excessive level of port fees which significantly undermines competitiveness of Ukrainian ports with the other Black Sea ports. Business community and key industry players have been working with the European Business Association and IFC experts to develop a transparent and economically justified calculation for port fees and weurge the Ministry of Infrastructure tosupport this initiative aimed at boosting Ukrainian export

Based on designs by ethnic Russians. :-\ :-\

I don't think Antonov is building aircraft now.  I don't know if they are even manufacturing parts.

Another piece of good news today-piece by piece  Ukrainian companies are finding new ways to the future.
This is another example of  the real progess being made.


UKRAINIAN AVIATION: Antonov signs agreement with China to launch mass production of world’s largest cargo plane


China is set to begin producing giant An-225 cargo planes based on cooperation agreement with Ukraine’s Antonov granting access to aircraft’s designs and technologies
This is the latest production cooperation agreement struck by Antonov in recent months as the company seeks to move away from historic ties to Russia and expand its presence on global markets.  Early in 2016, Antonov officials inked a memorandum on cooperation with India’s Reliance Defence, paving the way for potential joint production of Antonov aircraft for the Indian domestic market and providing access to lucrative Indian defence sector tenders.
