Small Scale Industries

Any attempt to evaluate China's achievements in industrialization during the past four decades must confront three crucial issues. They are: first, to what extent industrial success was gained at the expense of slower agricultural growth as a result of the Soviet-style, forced industrialization strategy. Secondly, whether in view of the perceived need to narrow the gap between the under-developed interior and the more advanced coastal areas, Chinese leaders have succeeded in correcting regional imbalances in industrial production. Thirdly, whether advances in the modern industrial sector have benefited traditional, small-scale industries. This last question is an important one in the light of the experience of other industrialized countries, highlighting the “spill-over” effects of technical change from modern to traditional sectors.

Small Scale Industries

With meagre capital investment but with, supposedly, higher labour pro¬ductivity than in agriculture, small-scale industries can be an important source of employment as well as a healthy contributor to industrial production in a developing country like Nigeria. A study of the Pakistan-Indian situation has shown that normally the highest employment per unit of capital is found in very small firms (of 20 or less workers). Such firms sometimes have the distinct short-term advantage of both lower capital-labour and capital-output ratios than larger establishments [20]. In fact, if the small-scale industrial sector is encouraged within a favourable economic environment, it can play an important role in economic development at least in the transitional state.

This study aims to reveal the performance and various obstacles faced by small-scale agricultural industries in Southeast Sulawesi. Research, utilizing secondary data published by various government agencies, and primary data on small-scale agricultural industries located in 12 districts in Southeast Sulawesi in 2018. The results showed that small-scale agricultural industries employ 42.01% of the workforce in the sector industry, as well as the investment value which covers 59.73% of industrial sector investment in Southeast Sulawesi, but the value of agricultural products industry products only covers 26.57% of the total value of industrial products in Southeast Sulawesi. This condition is largely caused by small-scale agricultural industries with legal entities that are relatively small, only around 30.48 percent of the total small-scale industries in Southeast Sulawesi. This condition indicates that most small-scale agricultural industries have not experienced and become an obstacle in conducting partnerships with medium and large industries. Furthermore, Competition to obtain raw materials with larger industries in Java also makes it difficult for many local furniture industries to obtain better quality raw materials. Knowledge and skill of the workforce are relatively low compared to advance or big industries. These factors influence the ability to scale agricultural industries to access capital, to create good product design, manage their business as well as expand markets. That is generally the circle of problems that surround small and medium industries in Indonesia. Therefore, in the context of developing small and medium industries, the strategies used cannot be overcome by problems but all comprehensively.

Biofuels represent a possibility to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions within the transport sector. In this context the sustainability of biofuels, especially so called 1st generation biofuels led to controversial discussions in the past. Biofuels from waste and residues represent a well suited but quantitative limited alternative due to their sustainability. At an international level, different approaches for converting waste and residues into biofuels can be found. Developing countries in general use classic transesterification of waste fats to produce biodiesel. Technically advanced options such as pyrolysis, gasification, Fischer-Tropsch-Diesel, anaerobic fermentation and distillation, as well as biogas production coupled with biomethane upgrading, are mostly found in industrialized countries. Within this study, different waste to biofuel options are reviewed ranging from small scale to industrial scale and take into account used raw materials, technological application and (potential) GHG-reduction. Further the potential of several wastes and residues for gasification processes and synthesis of biofuels in Germany is described. Biofuel from waste offers promising funding incentives because of the “double counting” according to 2009/28/EC and the switch in mandatory blending from an amount based quota to a GHG-based blending quota in 2015.

This paper presents principles and praxis of sustainable approach to maintaining targeted “residential regeneration by density” yet achieving innovations in urban form in a contextual scenario of Dhaka City, the capital of Bangladesh. It is evident from the context that Dhaka is experiencing a dramatic transformation in residential density due to demographic changes during the past two decades due the concentration of social, administrative, institutional, recreational, small-scale industries, and associated housing facilities. The transformation is visible in residential built footprint, significantly due to the demand-driven and density-led market, originated from low rise and low density and transforming to high density high rise. This transformation has been consistently threatening social and environmental realm indicated by depletion of garden houses; reduction of public parks; shrinking walkways; deletion of setback for ventilation and sun shade from trees; slowing down mobility; and obstruction of physical and visual permeability. The paper discussed a pragmatic approach that professionals have adopted to control the density and to introduce scopes for innovative urban forms by way of applying floor area ratio (FAR) methods and further discusses the merits of the methodological process of exercising morphology with a set of new building rules without undermining the market demand.

Industrial Growth

Development in Pakistan so far has been largely sustained by a rapidly growing industrial sector. From 1953 to 1960, the index for manufacturing has grown more rapidly in Pakistan than in any other country for which United-Nations statistics are published, except Japan. Admittedly, the reliability of such comparisons is limited and the high rate of Pakistan's industrial growth is partly a function of the low initial level of industrial development—if you start at zero, any increase means an infinite rate. But the United-Nations index starts in the middle 1950's when Pakistan already had a respectable industrial sector and the statistics are sufficiently reliable so one can say with some confidence ' that Pakistan had a rate of industrial growth matched by few countries in the recent past. A reasonably accurate measure of the growth in industrial production and investment in Pakistan is, therefore, of particular importance to economic analysis, policy formulation, or planning. The dynamism of the industrial sector has been due to what is called " large scale industry ". No reasonably reliable information exists on value added in "small scale industry", but various official , and unofficial guesses on its growth rate have ranged from a decline to a 3.5- per-cent annual increase. There would be near-universal agreement that "large scale industry" has grown much more rapidly than "small scale". The Survey, discussed later in this paper, confirms this conclusion. From 1947 to 1959, the value added by firms with assets of less than one million rupees increased only five-fold, while that added by larger firms increased more than fifteen times.

Small Scale Industries

Economic development of a nation is directly related with the amount of industrial development. The enlargement of industrial sector leads to a larger and proper utilization of natural resources, production of goods and services, creation of employment opportunities and improvement within the general standard of living. India has additionally making efforts to develop the country’s industrial base since independence. It has framed numerous policies geared toward development of industries within the public and private sectors. Special stress has been laid on SSI. SSI plays a key role in the planned development with its benefits of low investment, high potential for employment generation, diversification of the industrial base and dissemination of industries to rural and semi urban areas. P.N.Dhar and H.F.Lydall in introduction to their book, “The Role of Small Enterprise in Indian Economic Development” have ascertained that ‘The promotion of small scale industries has been widely recommended as one of the foremost acceptable means of developing industry in over populated backward countries’,(Ministry of Small Scale Industries , Government of India , 2006).

The past decade has seen slowdowns in measured labor productivity growth across a broad swath of developed economies. The industrial sector grew 5.02 per cent in the outgoing fiscal year as opposed to the growth rate of 5.8pc recorded a year ago, in Pakistan. The main objective of this research is to examinethe small industrial performance in Peshawar-Pakistan. KPK is the smallest province in terms of area, among the four provinces, and the third-largest in terms of population. This study is about the total units Kohat road 124 industrial estates and 71 are closed which has spawned many social evils such a phenomenal increase in smuggling, trade and macro-unemployed youths indulge in illegal commercial ventures. The results show that the contribution of small-scale industrial sector toward the socio-economic development of the province is not significant. Furthermore, the main reasons are inconvenient location (away from the seaport), non-availability of skilled labor, inconsistent government policies, the dearth of local capital, lack of infrastructure and comparatively poor law and order situation, due to Afghan War, and operation in tribal areas. Nonetheless, certain policy recommendations were suggested based on the finding.
