Kazakhstan’s gross agricultural output grows by 3.7%

In the first half of the year, investments in Kazakhstan's agro-industrial complex totaled 617 billion tenge. Capital investment in agriculture reached 442 billion tenge, with investments in food production also increasing. Gross agricultural output grew by 3.7%, amounting to two trillion tenge. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, this positive trend was driven by strong performance in both livestock and crop production. One of the contributing factors to the sector's growth is the financing and implementation of projects under the program to replicate best practices of the North Kazakhstan Region. A total of 155 projects have been funded for 178.5 billion tenge, with one-third already operational - including dairy farms, vegetable storage facilities, and a feedlot. Annual growth in Kazakhstan’s agro-industrial sector is expected to be driven by sowing and harvesting campaigns. This year, the country’s total sown area reached nearly 24 million hectares.
