Kazakh President briefed on agricultural sector results

Agricultural production in Kazakhstan has increased by nearly 5.5% since the beginning of the year, exceeding 8 trillion tenge. Minister of Agriculture Aidarbek Saparov reported this to President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev today. According to the minister, agricultural exports have also risen, reaching $4.7 billion. This growth was driven by government support measures such as preferential lending at 5% and an expansion of agricultural financing to one trillion tenge. Kazakhstan is currently developing a unified digital ecosystem, e-APK, which will integrate subsidies, land management, crop and livestock production, fish farming, and existing state information systems. In line with the President’s directive, a comprehensive livestock development plan will also be adopted. Tokayev instructed officials to further improve the sector’s efficiency and strengthen national food security.
