Ukraine can be found in the Eastern part of Europe. Russia, Belarus, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, and Moldova are their neighboring countries. Ukrainian is recognized as the state language. The industrial sector contributed 26.0% of the GDP in 2012, making it an important portion of the Ukrainian economy. Using its abundant coal and wind power, the country’s primary businesses include power generation, the chemical and gas sector, metallurgy, machine-building and metal-working, wood-working and paper manufacture, and construction. The electronics and aerospace sectors are thriving. The mining industry is also very large, particularly for coal and iron ore. There are 12 major automakers in Ukraine, and one of them is the Lviv Bus Factory. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, 49 companies revived the shipbuilding industry, making anything from speedboats to bulk carriers to tankers. Ukraine is a major supplier of agricultural goods because of its abundant grain harvests. Over 10% of GDP in 2012 came from agriculture, and the country is a major exporter of grain. Ukraine’s IT industry is rapidly expanding and is already one of the world’s largest, with a 2013 value of up to $3.6 billion.
