Tokayev instructed Agriculture Minister Aidarbek Saparov to bring the

institutional reforms to enhance government support system, diversifying
cultivated areas, and advancing scientific development. Saparov informed Tokayev

10 months.
“I briefed the President on the
results of the harvesting campaign, the difficulties farmers faced and the
challenging conditions they navigated this year. I highlighted the government’s
support measures as well. I also reported on the plans for agricultural
development and the accomplishment of the tasks enshrined in the Concept for
the development of the agro-industrial complex until 2030. President Tokayev
assigned specific tasks for the ministry, and we will work to fulfill the
instructions he gave,” Saparov said.
