Texts for Additional Reading ( for part I ) Ukraine's Economy
Ukraine is rich in mineral resources. It completely satisfies its needs in iron, manganese and titanium ores, as well as in rock salt, cement, gypsum, mineral paints, heat resistant clays, bromine, graphite mercury and uranium.
Steppes and plaints compose the most part of the territory of Ukraine (95%). The top-soils are mainly black. They are the biggest treasures of the Ukrainian land. 25% of the world's black rich soils are in Ukraine. Together with the fact that Ukraine's climate is mainly moderately continental, and the sediments are 300-600 millimeters, it allows for considerable progress in agricultural production after the village is reoriented towards the market economy.
Because of its potential Ukraine is an industrial-agricultural country. Its machine-building potential includes tractors, agricultural machine building, production of diesel locomotives and rail-road cars, automobiles, rockets, sea and river vessels, refrigerators, TV-sets, washing machines, electric motors, industrial robots, motor-cycles, equipment for metallurgic, chemical, mine and textile appliances and many other complicated products. Well-developed are black and colored metallurgy, chemical, oil and wood processing, and the cellulose-paper industries.
Since its independence Ukraine has confronted problems. The situation today is better in one important respect than it was in the preceding years: inflation, which was running at 330% a year in 1993 has been reduced.
