Ukrainian production can be characterized by conditionally dividing it into three main sectors of the economy - industry, agriculture, and services. Industry is the basis of the country's production and includes such sectors of the economy as the mining and metallurgical complex, coal, oil and gas and energy industries, pharmaceuticals, light and food industries, pulp and paper industry, and transport.

1
The base of industrial production in Ukraine is metallurgy. Industrial enterprises of Ukraine extract, process and manufacture products from ferrous and non-ferrous metals - pipes, boilers, steel wire, tanks, radiators, castings from cast iron and steel. The products of the metallurgical industry are exported in significant volumes to the EU, the Middle East, Asia and South America.

The fuel and energy complex of Ukraine is poorly developed, the country is one of the states that are dependent on oil and gas imports. The share of oil production in Ukraine is so small that it does not even provide for its own needs. But the coal industry, on the contrary, occupies a leading position in the world. The colossal volumes of brown and black coal mining allow Ukraine to be in third place in Europe among other mining countries.
3
The light industry of the state is represented by the production of textile, clothing, fur and leather products. Today, in connection with the crisis state of the economy, a significant decline is observed in this area. The most stable in this area remains the production of knitwear and hosiery, various types of fabrics, carpets.

The food industry is implemented in the form of food production and totals about three thousand items of goods, including alcoholic, brewing, dairy, meat, bakery, confectionery, tobacco, fish, butter and cheese, sugar, wine, canning products.
5
Agriculture of the country is focused on the cultivation of grain and cereal crops, potatoes. The state ranks sixth in the world in wheat supplies and third in corn exports. According to the experience of previous years, growing potatoes gives record harvests, but due to the lack of large vegetable stores, it does not make this type of agricultural production one of the leading ones.

In Ukraine, logging activities are also ongoing. The forest part of the territory is small - only 14.3% of the total territory of the state. Almost 90% - Polesie and Transcarpathia, where timber is harvested, and all woodworking enterprises, furniture factories and pulp and paper production are located in large cities of Ukraine, such as Lviv, Kharkov, Kiev, Odessa. Due to the limited amount of primary material for the production of paper and cardboard, factories for their production switched to an alternative type of raw material used - the manufacture of paper and cardboard from waste paper.
