The largest PepsiCo
plant in Central Asia will be established in the Almaty region. The investment
in the project will amount to $320 million. This will allow potato processing
volumes to triple, resulting in about 70,000 tonnes of finished products per
year. It is expected to reach full production capacity by September 2027. This
became known during a meeting between Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov and the
head of the company for the region David Manzini. As part of the project, raw
material storage capacity will be expanded, and scientific approaches will be
developed to increase yields and product quality. Locally sourced raw materials
will be used in production, with around 15 farms from the Pavlodar, Akmola,
Karagandy, Almaty, and Zhetisu regions already involved.
