Kazakhstan fully self-sufficient in main food types

Ensuring food security is one of the strategic priorities of the Kazakh Government. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, the domestic market is currently fully supplied with flour, potatoes, rice, pasta, lamb, beef and other essential products. The country is 80 percent self-sufficient in horse meat, buckwheat, cabbage, and other products. The relevant ministry is steadily working on import substitution, with new investment projects set to support these efforts. By 2027, it is planned to implement 780 projects worth 2.3 trillion tenge, 170 of which will be specifically focused on the import substitution of food products.
