Companies and organizations interviewed 72 03 Executive summary The Light Manufacturing Industry (LMI) is a branch of the manufacturing sector that produces relatively high-value items per unit weight, such as clothes and consumer electronics, through processes that use moderate amounts of energy and partially processed materials. The LMI has the potential to initiate rapid, substantial, and potentially self-propelling waves of rising output, employment, productivity, and exports that can push countries on a path of structural change. In the case of the Mexican economy, LMI plays a strategic role. It accounts for 13.9% of GDP, 80% of manufacturing production, and 65% of exports. Either directly or indirectly, it employs over 3.8 million people, representing 91% of total jobs in manufacturing industries. In 2019 alone, LMI attracted 13.7 billion USD of foreign direct investment. The sector is highly concentrated. Nearly 60% of LMI’s GDP contribution comes from three manufacturing sub-sectors: transport equipment (23%), food industry (25%), and computer equipment (11%). Other LMI subsectors include textiles, wood, pulp and paper, printing, leather, furniture, and other unclassified subsectors. 04 05 Highlights ¡¡The purpose of this report is to understand the opportunities and challenges faced by the light manufacturing industry in Mexico when attempting to advance its decarbonization strategies. This report aims to represent a useful diagnosis for stakeholders and policymakers to identify and implement cost-effective greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation solutions in the light manufacturing sector to achieve Mexico’s climate targets. ¡¡In Mexico, by 2018, the LMI contributed roughly with 13.9% of the national Gross Domestic Product LMI’s energy requirements are relatively high, with it demanding (GDP), 80% of total manufacturing production and almost 20% of the national energy generated in Mexico, ether 65% of total exports. The sector employs more than in the form of electricity, natural gas, and liquid hydrocarbons. 3.8 million people and attracts USD 13.7 billion of Energy demand in the sector is still growing, at an annual rate of 2.3%,mainly due to the expansion of activities, even foreign direct investment annually (FDI) (INEGI, 2019). though it has reduced its energy intensity by over 20% since ¡¡Energy use in the light manufacturing sector 2000, through fuel shifting, energy efficiency improvements, and a growing share of less energy-intensive activities. grew at the same rate as the economy, 3.7% between 2010 and 2015, a slowdown compared Electricity represents 65% of the sector’s energy use.

    H17 Business – Light Industry Zone H17. Business – Light Industry Zone H17.1. Zone description The Business – Light Industry Zone anticipates industrial activities that do not generate objectionable odour, dust or noise. This includes manufacturing, production, logistics, storage, transport and distribution activities. The anticipated level of amenity is lower than the centres zones, Business – General Business Zone and Business – Mixed Use Zone. Due to the industrial nature of the zone, activities sensitive to air discharges are generally not provided for. The air quality of the zone is managed by the air quality provisions in E14 Air quality H17.2. Objectives (1) Light industrial activities locate and function efficiently within the zone. (2) The establishment of activities that may compromise the efficiency and functionality of the zone for light industrial activities is avoided. (3) Adverse effects on amenity values and the natural environment, both within the zone and on adjacent areas, are managed. (4) Development avoids, remedies or mitigates adverse effects on the amenity of adjacent public open spaces and residential zones. H17.3. Policies (1) Enable light industrial activities to locate in the zone. (2) Avoid reverse sensitivity effects from activities that may constrain the establishment and operation of light industrial activities. (3) Avoid activities that do not support the primary function of the zone. (4) Require development adjacent to open space zones, residential zones and special purpose zones to manage adverse amenity effects on those zones. (5) In identified locations enable greater building height than the standard zone height, having regard to whether the greater height: (a) is an efficient use of land; and (b) can be accommodated without significant adverse effects on adjacent residential zones; considering the size and depth of the area.

The analysis and interpretations in this study are those of the author, not necessarily of the sponsors. This report is based upon research which was supported by the National Council for Soviet and East European Research with funds provided by the U.S. Departments of State and Defense and the Central Intelligence Agency, which, however, are not responsible for the contents or findings. Copyright © Soviet Interview Project Soviet Utilization of Food: Focus on Meat and Dairy Processing1 The Soviet Union is the world's largest producer of cow's milk, but only 60% of the protein in this milk is consumed directly by humans. The fraction that is lost is equivalent to 65% of the value of the total protein in all meats of all types that Russians consume. The comparable fraction of protein in US-produced milk that is consumed by humans is over 90%. Also, although the USSR is obviously a great milk-producing nation, it converts only about 7% of its milk to hard, whole-milk cheese. The comparable figure for the European Economic Community (EEC) is 24%. This paper is about the Soviet Union's current desire to extend processing and increase the utilization, or final usability, of food production for its citizens.

In this paper, stainless-steel wire was adopted to deposit thin-walled samples with different curvatures. Optical microscopy,SEM, EDS and micro-hardness was used to analyse the microstructure, composition and properties of the samples. The result shows that the bottom region of the thin-walled sample had a mainly planar and cellular crystal microstructure. For the middle region, the microstructure revealed mainly dendrites, and the top layer has equiaxed dendrite morphology. The microhardness value of the bottom was greater than that of the middle, and the microhardness value of the middle was greater than that of the top. Moreover, the grain size of the inner part (direct to curvature radius) was larger than that of the outer part, and the micro-hardness value exhibited an increasing tendency from the inner to the outer side.

Keywords —light industry, energy consumption, energy resources, fibers and products, enterprises in the light industry. Introduction In 2020, there was an increase in the production of light industry products. The index of textile and clothing production amounted to 107.3%, and the production of leather and footwear - 116.7%. The financial results of the industry, as well as production indicators, have a clear tendency to improve. The total volume of commercial products in 2020 in actual prices for textile and clothing production increased, exceeding the same value of the previous year by 33.8%, in the production of leather and footwear, exceeding the same value of the previous year by 21.3%. The amount of profit for the textile and clothing industry increased 5 times. The level of profitability of production in light industry remains low. In 2020, it was less than 3%, in fact, reflecting the lack of development potential. The price competitiveness of light industry products is low. Light industry products are experiencing fierce competition in the market, which is mainly associated with the pressure of cheap semi-legal or illegal goods imported without paying any duties and taxes.

  • ECONOMIC GEOGRAPHY: SECONDARY & TERTIARY SECTORS 14 AUGUST 2014 Lesson Description
    ECONOMIC GEOGRAPHY: SECONDARY & TERTIARY SECTORS 14 AUGUST 2014 Lesson Description In this lesson we: Identify secondary and tertiary sectors to the South African economy Discuss the contribution of secondary and tertiary sectors to the economy Examine different types of industries Discuss factors influencing industrial development in South Africa Explore South Africa’s industrial regions Summary Classification of Industry Secondary industry Secondary industries are those that take the raw materials produced by the primary sector and process them into manufactured goods and products. Examples of secondary industries include heavy manufacturing, light manufacturing, food processing, oil refining and energy production. Tertiary industry The tertiary sector is also called the service sector and involves the selling of services and skills. They can also involve selling goods and products from primary and secondary industries. Examples of tertiary employment include the health service, transportation, education, entertainment, tourism, finance, sales and retail. Quaternary industry The quaternary sector consists of those industries providing information services, such as computing, ICT (information and communication technologies), consultancy (offering advice to businesses) and R&D (research, particularly in scientific fields). Secondary and Tertiary Sectors to the Economy Different countries have different employment structures. The employment structure of a given country can tell you quite a lot about its economy. In the richest countries, for example, there will usually be more people working in the tertiary sector than in the primary and secondary sectors. In the poorest countries, there tend to be more people working in the primary sector than in either the secondary or tertiary sectors. In South Africa the primary sector has traditionally been the largest sector but in the last 30 years the secondary and tertiary sectors have increased.
