President Kassym-Jomart
Tokayev reviewed the progress of the harvesting campaign in the Akmola region.
He was informed that sown areas this year expanded by 300,000 hectares,
reaching 5.5 million hectares in total. Grain yields are also growing, with
forecasts exceeding 7 million tons. Akmola farmers have already harvested over
3.5 million tons, with the crop
noted for its high quality. The President also held discussions with
agricultural enterprise leaders, once again emphasizing the importance of
developing deep processing and increasing the share of agricultural production
in the country’s GDP. Currently, the sector accounts for 6%, and the Head of
State highlighted the need to boost these figures, especially as the country is
actively exporting its agricultural products. Kazakh grain is already in demand
in neighboring markets and Europe, with the first shipment also sent to
Vietnam.
