Russian industry. The patient is rather alive ...
In the meantime, certain segments of the population continue to believe that Russia has hung somewhere between the Stone Age and the Iron Age, and remarkable statistics have been published in terms of global industrial production. Statistics collected by experts in the field of industrial analysis under the auspices of the World Trade Organization. So, this statistic suggests that Russia has entered the 4-e place in the world in terms of industrial production: from the production of light industry products to products of metallurgy and high technology. Rosstat confirms this statistics by providing data that, in terms of industrial production, modern Russia has reached the level in 90 with more than one percent of the level of the RSFSR of the sample 1991 of the year.
Of course, it can be stated that for more than 26 years we can’t catch up with the Soviet-era sample of ourselves, but here we must not forget to take into account an important point: over the years of the existence of an independent Russia, it was necessary to reshape the entire system not only of the production itself contacts with suppliers and consumers. In the Soviet years, a well-established system was built in, in which everyone knew their niche perfectly and in this niche worked at the pace that the state regulation system allowed it to do. Simplified - cotton for light industry - from Central Asia, grapes for fruit and vegetable processing - from Moldova, coal for metallurgy - from Donbass, etc. All this was collapsed in two accounts and, as AB Chubais used to say, no matter how many factories need to be closed, if only it would benefit the break with the communist past.
Remember Chubais: “Every factory sold is a nail in the lid of the coffin of the Communists. Expensive, cheap, free, with surcharge - the twentieth question.
If suddenly someone has forgotten, then this “wonderful” speech, as they say, is original:
Interestingly, Mr. Chubais is today in a position that, as it were, is aimed at opening new factories and plants, and developing industry. And then one of two things: either Chubais made sure that he hammered all the nails into the cover, they themselves heard what and whom ... or Mr. Chubais continues to hammer these nails on the Rosnano post ...
In the meantime, Anatoly Borisovich “scores”, the Russian industry and under the sanctions trying to show growth. Through all bureaucratic obstacles and elements of unfair competition in foreign markets. As noted above, the RF has the 4-i position in the world. Ahead: China, USA, India. Behind the first half of the year 2017, for example, Germany and Japan.
One of the most actively growing manufacturing sectors is railway. Deputy Minister industry and commerce Alexander Morozov notes:
Growth in freight cars - 28,8% for 2016. Gondola growth - 39,8%. The growth in the production of tanks - 27,7%. Several companies involved in the railway production system for the year 2016 showed an increase above 95 percent! The smallest growth in the industry is 9%.
The demand for freight wagons suggests that there is a development of the transportation system of other industrial segments, including not only the mining primary sector.
The Ministry of Industry and Trade notes the development of the regional component of industrial production in the country. Thus, in the first five months of this year, thanks to measures of state support in the Tver region, the production of excavator equipment increased by 12,5%. At the same time, there is an active introduction of environmental standards of a new generation for engines used on road-building equipment of Russian manufacturers. Speech on the level of STAGE IIIA.
Ryazan tannery, which at the end of 90's (apparently, according to the precepts of like-minded Chubais), was close to total collapse, became the real industry leaders. The Ryazan enterprise of light industry in the leather industry is ranked first in Russia and is now among the largest industrial enterprises in Europe. It accounts for 35% leather production in the Russian Federation. This is 720 thousand square meters. meters of skin monthly. The factory has 400 customer organizations around the world.
The volume of generation of electric energy is growing. At the end of last year, production increased the 2,1 percent, reaching 1071,7 billion kWh. 1,8% increased and the consumption of electrical energy. In the first half of 2017 of the year, the equivalent annualized growth was already more than 3% with the growth of consumer activity by 2,5%. This is ahead of the figures in the forecasts.
Growth is noted on steelmaking. In 2016, the country smelted 0,3% more than in 2015-m. For the first half of the year, the increase in annual terms is still by 0,4%. If in 2016, iron smelting fell by about 1%, then this year - the transition to growth.
Growing food production. His growth did not go unnoticed in the West. So, in the magazine Bloomberg View A material appeared by the observer Leonid Bershidsky, in which he calls Russia an emerging superpower in the food supply sphere. The author notes that from July 2016 to June 2017 Russia exported 27,8 million tons of wheat, which is more than the EU countries combined. Bershidsky writes that, according to the American Ministry of Agriculture, from July 2017 to June 2018, Russia will increase wheat exports to 31,5 million tons. The Bloomberg observer recalls that Russia is also among the leaders in the export of corn, oats and barley. Against the background of the annual growth of grain consumption by 1,4% to 2021, Russia has a chance to take an even larger percentage of the global grain market.
From the material:
One of the reasons Bershidsky calls global warming, which will allow Russia to increase the acreage and crop yields.
Of course, Russia has a huge suitcase of problems, including a number of areas in the same industrial production, where everything is not smooth. However, against this background, one cannot but state the successes that are demonstrated in the field of domestic industry as a whole. Of course, you can’t be euphoric either. Yes, no one seems to be going. But to reflect on where Russia has all the chances to increase industrial turnover is quite appropriate.
