Ukrainian Sawmills LLC (Kostopil, Rivne region), which produces sawn timber, furniture panels and semifinished products, declares a critical situation in connection with the failure to deliver the full volume of logs by state-run forestry enterprises legally acquired by the company at open auctions, the company has said on its Facebook page.
“We, the newest sawmill, launched at the end of 2017, are now on the brink of survival. The most important problem is providing raw materials in full, or rather begging legally acquired raw materials from state-owned forestry enterprises. According to the results of the third quarter of 2020 (left only three days before it ends), the forestry enterprises of Zhytomyr and Volyn regions, as well as some forestry enterprises of Rivne region supplied us with less than 50% of the purchased wood,” the company said on Monday, September 28.
Ukrainian Sawmills said that they participate in all auctions for the purchase of coniferous sawlogs, since this year they decided to fully utilize the existing design capacities.
“We will demand additional supplies of logs. But who will compensate us for the forced downtime, loss of business reputation due to unshipped products to buyers and possible penalties for our failure to fulfill obligations?” the company said.
In addition, the company drew attention to the fact that some auctions are announced in such a way and at such a time that only those “for whom the auction is specially held” can learn about them.
“It turns out that we already have a system of shadow auctions so that the right raw materials go to the right people, and not to those who want to buy. Formally, everything seems to be honest: there is an official announcement and an auction is being held (print screen is attached). But the problem is the one for whom this auction is specially held, without providing for other participants, can only know about it,” the company said.
Ukrainian Sawmills appeal to the Office of the President, the Cabinet of Ministers, the State Forest Resources Agency and the regional forestry and hunting departments with questions about holding such auctions, at what prices they buy raw materials, whether there are any abuses and unlawful benefits.
Ukrainian Sawmills LLC was registered in September 2014 in Kostopil. According to the public register, 100% of the charter capital is owned by the company Ukresta Holdings Limited, registered in Cyprus.
OPPO AED Ukraine, a subsidiary of the Chinese OPPO, has noted the growth of the smartphone market in Ukraine by 5% after the quarantine and expects the growth of smartphone penetration in Ukraine to continue in the next few years.
“The impact of the pandemic, quarantine [on the market] should be taken into account. It is clear that it caused a short-term decline and made its own adjustments, but the demand for smartphones due to telecommuting and education, online shopping has increased, and the market itself has also increased after quarantine by 5%,” OPPO AED Ukraine CEO Henry Wang said in an interview with Interfax-Ukraine.
He also said that according to the company, the average price of a smartphone in Ukraine is UAH 5,800 and has not changed over the past year.
“This is due to the current general economic situation in the country. I believe that with social stability and a gradual recovery of the economy, the average price of mobile phones will continue to grow… Now we understand that the greatest demand will be in the budget price segment – that is, all smartphones that cost less than UAH 6,000. On the Ukrainian market, this segment will probably be from 60 to 80%,” Wang said.
OPPO AED Ukraine also expects that with the spread of 4G communications, more and more Ukrainians will switch to smartphones.
“We believe that the Ukrainian market has the potential to become one of the largest in demand for 5G smartphones in the next few years after the launch of 5G networks, and the penetration rate will stabilize at over 80%,” the CEO of OPPO AED Ukraine said.
