Investments in Kazakhstan's agro-industrial sector rose by 118 percent compared to the same period in 2024. In the first four months of this year, 213 billion tenge were attracted to the industry.

The country has developed and approved a three-year Roadmap for the implementation of investment projects in the agro-industrial complex. It includes a total of 677 projects, with over three trillion tenge allocated for them. Key initiatives include a deep corn processing plant in the Turkistan region, an oil mill in East Kazakhstan, a poultry farm in the Zhambyl region, and a wool processing plant in Aktobe. The ministry has also signed major investment agreements with companies from Türkiye and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

«This year, 282 projects totaling 611.2 billion tenge are scheduled for implementation. The Ministry is also working on financing a program aimed at replicating the experience of the North Kazakhstan region. In this regard, 69 dairy farms were financed in 2023. To continue the program in 2025, 200 billion tenge has been allocated for 154 projects. Currently, the development and selection of their design and estimate documentation is underway,» said Yermek Kenzhekhanuly, Kazakh Vice Minister of Agriculture.
