Thanks to state support, our farmers have harvested a bountiful crop, and the total volume of agricultural production has exceeded 6 million tonnes.Today, advanced technologies are being actively introduced in the agricultural sector of the region, food processing is expanding, and new investment projects are being implemented. All these efforts contribute to strengthening the country's food security, increasing export potential and creating new jobs.Behind every grain of wheat and every loaf of bread stands the dedicated work of thousands of people. I express my sincere gratitude to everyone whose hard work ensures abundance on our tables.I wish you all good health, family well-being, success and new achievements! May prosperity continue to grow in every home!Happy World Bread Day!Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kostanay/press/news/details/1312127?lang=ru
