Kazakhstan will begin its mass
harvesting campaign in the third ten-day period of August, following government
discussions on preparation. This year, a record 580 billion tenge has been
allocated for spring fieldwork, as instructed by the Head of State. The amount
for leasing agricultural machinery has been increased fivefold, and the
relevant department has confirmed its readiness for the season. The campaign
will involve around 150,000 tractors, 38,000 grain harvesters, and 14,000
reapers. Over 64,000 tons of subsidized diesel fuel have been distributed to
farmers for autumn fieldwork. The Prime Minister emphasized the importance of
closely monitoring the harvesting campaign and ensuring the sale of domestic
products, particularly in priority export markets. Efforts will be intensified
to work with partners from China, the Middle East, Africa, and other countries.
Notably, Kazakhstan’s total agricultural area exceeds 23 million hectares, with
approximately 17 million hectares dedicated to grain crops.
