The production of tobacco goods, sweets and beer had the greatest share of foreign
investments. The tobacco industry, in which one in every four dollars was invested, had
an especially significant position. At the same time investments here were very
concentrated (figure 4), because the average value of an investment in this branch of
industry amounted to 353.6 m USD. There were five investors only but these were the
huge international concerns.

From the point of view of investors the greatest interest concerned the production of
sweets and snacks, dairies, breweries and fruit and vegetable processing. In these
branches of industry, however, much smaller unit expenditures were incurred, especially
in the dairy industry, fruit and vegetable processing, fodder industry and meat industry.
It results from lack of concentration and a great number of relatively small companies.
