In Shymkent, the illegal sale of a large batch of chicken eggs of Russian origin has been suppressed. The violation was identified during the joint work of employees from the Veterinary Control and Supervision Committee, representatives of the Department of Trade and Consumer Rights Protection of Shymkent city, and the Union of Poultry Farmers of Kazakhstan.During control and supervision activities at the "Zhibek Zholy" market, specialists discovered eggs for sale without mandatory labeling and veterinary accompanying documents. The total volume of seized products amounted to 11,850 units.Laboratory test results established that the products do not meet safety requirements and the current legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The entire batch was destroyed in accordance with established procedures in the presence of a commission. Administrative offense cases have been initiated against the guilty persons, and the inspection materials have been sent to the authorized bodies for further procedural decisions.The Union of Poultry Farmers of Kazakhstan continues joint work with state bodies to identify and suppress cases of illegal trafficking of egg products. All recorded violations are sent to the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Trade and Integration, the State Revenue Committee, and the Sanitary and Epidemiological Control Committee.Despite the current restrictions, cases of selling unlabeled eggs of Russian origin are still being identified in some regions of the country. In this regard, state bodies continue systematic inspections of markets and trade facilities across the country to protect consumers and ensure market transparency.It is recalled that since April 17, 2026, Order No. 146 of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan on the temporary ban on the import of food chicken eggs has come into force. The measure is aimed at suppressing gray imports, preventing dumping, and maintaining a stable price situation in the domestic market during the period of seasonal demand growth.The practice of temporarily restricting egg imports has been applied in Kazakhstan for several consecutive years. Such measures are introduced during periods when domestic poultry farms fully meet the needs of the internal market. This helps protect Kazakh producers from dumping imports, create fair competitive conditions for the sale of domestic products, and maintain stable prices for consumers.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mti/press/news/details/1235268?lang=ru

On June 5, the Fifth Anniversary International Conference "FOC 2026: Fats and Oils Conference" is being held in Astana. Over five years, it has become one of the key platforms for discussing the future of the Eurasian fats and oils industry. This year, the forum brought together over 330 delegates from 18 countries worldwide, heads of more than 50 Kazakh oilseed processing plants, representatives of government agencies, international organizations, financial institutions, agro-holdings, logistics companies, and the world's largest industry players.The conference was organized by the National Association of Oilseed Processors with the support of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Ministry of Trade and Integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan, and JSC "QazTrade Center for Trade Policy Development". Among the participants were representatives of the International Trade Centre, UN FAO, EBRD, Wilmar, Bunge, Kourosh Food Industry, Huatai, Chinese Cereals and Oils Association, China Vegetable Oil Industry Association, and other international structures and companies.Opening the conference, Vice Minister of Trade and Integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan Aset Nusupov emphasized that such broad international representation is not accidental, as today the fats and oils industry is at the center of the global food agenda.According to him, trips to the country's agricultural regions and meetings with agricultural producers confirm the large-scale changes taking place in the domestic agro-industrial complex. Kazakhstan is consistently transitioning from raw material exports to the production of high value-added products, the development of deep processing, and the exploration of new export markets.The results of this transformation are already noticeable at the international level. Last year, Kazakhstan entered the ranks of the world's largest exporters of sunflower oil, providing about 3.6% of global exports of this product and securing a place among the leading suppliers on the global market. In the Chinese market, the republic took second place among sunflower oil exporters, strengthening trade and economic cooperation between the two countries. Exports of fats and oils products and oilseeds increased by 70% over the year, becoming one of the most striking examples of successful economic diversification and the development of non-commodity exports.Today, the fats and oils sector is one of the main drivers of growth for the domestic processing industry. In 2025, the production volume of fats and oils products exceeded 1.57 million tons for the first time, and export revenue reached a record $963 million USD. For comparison: back in 2021, this figure was $240 million. Thus, in just four years, the industry's export revenue has increased more than fourfold.Sunflower oil production shows particularly impressive dynamics. Over the past four years, its output has grown 2.3 times and exceeded 752 thousand tons. Simultaneously, Kazakhstan has significantly reduced its dependence on imports: if from 2015 to 2021 the share of imported sunflower oil on the domestic market averaged 39%, today it does not exceed 18%.The fats and oils industry already generates more than a quarter of all foreign exchange earnings from the country's exports of processed agricultural products. In 2025, its contribution reached 27%, making the sector one of the key elements of Kazakhstan's economic resilience.The growth in processing stimulates the development of the entire agro-industrial complex. High demand for oilseeds from domestic enterprises contributes to the expansion of cultivated areas, increased investment in agriculture, and modernization of production capacities. In parallel, the production of deep-processing products is developing, which has a positive impact on related industries - livestock farming, poultry farming, compound feed, and the food industry.Conference participants paid special attention to the issue of food security and price stability. Despite the fact that, according to FAO, from May 2023 to the end of 2025, the global vegetable oil price index increased by 39%, and the cost of sunflower oil on European exchanges rose by 47%, in Kazakhstan, thanks to the joint work of the state and business, it was possible to maintain stable domestic prices. Under the memorandum between the National Association of Oilseed Processors, the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Ministry of Trade and Integration, the wholesale price of sunflower oil for the domestic market has not exceeded 730 tenge per liter for over three years. In February 2026, the price stabilization mechanism was extended until the end of the current year.Today, Kazakh fats and oils products are supplied to more than 20 countries worldwide. The main sales markets are China, Central Asian countries, and the European Union. In 2025, Kazakhstan ranked sixth in the world in sunflower oil exports and second in the Chinese market. Moreover, over the past two years, the republic has become the largest supplier of vegetable oils to Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, providing over 90% of the import of this product in these countries. Kazakhstan also fully meets Central Asia's needs for sunflower meal and is among the top three largest suppliers of this product to the European Union.According to Aset Nusupov, such results have been made possible thanks to consistent state policy and close interaction with business. Last year, together with industry associations, international partners, and JSC "QazTrade", a Roadmap for the Development of Fats and Oils Exports until 2028 was developed. Its implementation will allow the industry's foreign exchange earnings to increase by another 60% in just two years - to over $1.5 billion USD, and for Kazakhstan to secure a place among the world's four largest sunflower oil exporters with the prospect of further entering the global top three.An important part of this strategy is the development of transport and logistics infrastructure. Kazakhstan is consistently expanding the capabilities of the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route, improving railway infrastructure, and modernizing port capacities. In 2026, vegetable oil was transshipped directly onto a sea vessel for the first time at the port of Aktau. Simultaneously, with the support of KTZ, trial shipments of granulated sunflower meal to China via the Dostyk – Alashankou border crossing began. Another important achievement was the country's first container shipment of sunflower oil in flexitanks from the East Kazakhstan region to China's Jiangsu province. The 4,700-kilometer route was completed in just 12 days, confirming the high potential of modern logistics solutions.The geography of trade opportunities for domestic producers is also expanding. Today, free trade agreements with Vietnam, Serbia, and Iran are in effect for Kazakh businesses. Last year, new agreements were signed with the United Arab Emirates, Mongolia, and Indonesia. Furthermore, negotiations on the creation of a free trade zone with India are ongoing, opening up additional prospects for Kazakh exporters in one of the world's largest markets.Separately, the Vice Minister highlighted the high indicators of oilseed exports. Just from September to April of the current season, flax exports amounted to about one million tons worth almost $500 million. The main buyers were China and European Union countries. Rapeseed exports for the same period exceeded 200 thousand tons, with key destinations including China, Poland, Latvia, and other European states.The National Product Catalog - a digital product identification system - is becoming an important tool for increasing trade transparency. Using sunflower oil as an example, it eliminates discrepancies in product names and ensures a unified approach to its classification both in the domestic market and in export operations. According to estimates by international analytical agencies, the global vegetable oil market will maintain steady growth in the coming years. Global consumption already exceeds 220 million tons annually and continues to increase. This creates additional opportunities for further strengthening Kazakhstan's position on the global food market.Conference participants note that the domestic fats and oils industry has become a clear example of how consistent development of processing, the introduction of modern technologies, and a focus on exporting high value-added products can ensure sustainable economic growth, expansion of supply geography, and strengthening of the country's food security.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mti/press/news/details/1235282?lang=ru

The UAPF continuously conducts outreach efforts on the need for both beneficiaries and heirs of deceased individuals with UAPF savings to claim their pension benefis in a timely manner. Every year, the UAPF verifies with the State Corporation "Government for Citizens" the records of individuals who have reached retirement age and who have pension savings through compulsory pension contributions (CPCs) and compulsory occupational pension contributions (COPCs) to the UAPF and who have not applied to the UAPF for their benefit. These individuals are verified in the information system of the authorized body in the sphere of social protection of the population for pension benefits assigned from budgetary funds based on age, length of service, and the state basic pension benefit. Since March of this year, a no-application procedure for pension benefits through voluntary pension contributions (VPC) has been introduced for individuals who have reached retirement age and have pension savings in the UAPF through VPC, including those who have not applied to the UAPF for payment due to reaching the age of fifty or disability. This procedure also requires an annual reconciliation with the Government for Citizens State Corporation.Based on the results of the annual reconciliation, the UAPF makes pension benefit payments to beneficiaies proactively (without an application) through the State Corporation. This means that pensioners receiving a pension from the state budget begin receiving payments from the UAPF if they have pension savings formed through the CPC, COPC, and VPC. StatisticsAs of May 1, 2026, the total amount of unclaimed pension savings in individual pension savings accounts (IPSAs) for accounting for the compulsory pension contributions of 279,041 individuals who have reached the generally established retirement age is approximately 45 billion tenge. Of these, according to information obtained by UAPF from government information systems, the following are true:- 155,217 individuals are deceased and their pension savings can be claimed by their heirs;- 61,459 individuals have registered for permanent residence outside the Republic of Kazakhstan in accordance with the procedure established by law;- 62,365 individuals have not yet applied to the State Corporation (PSC at their place of residence) to apply for their old-age pensions. How to receive pension benefits?Let us remind you that pension savings are subject to accounting in the IPSA of contributors (beneficiaries) in the UAPF, continue to be invested and remain in the IPSA of contributors until they are claimed by the beneficiaries or their heirs (in the event of the death of the beneficiary).Upon reaching the generally established retirement age To claim pension benefits from the UAPF upon reaching retirement age, as well as basic and solidarity pensions from the state budget, beneficiaries must contact the State Corporation "Government for Citizens" (PSC) at their place of residence.If a beneficiary has VPC pension savings in the UAPF for which they have not previously applied (due to reaching age 50 or disability), they will also be assigned pension benefits from the UAPF through the VPC.When leaving for permanent residence Foreigners and stateless persons who have permanently resided outside the Republic of Kazakhstan and who have pension savings in the UAPF may exercise their right to pension benefits from the UAPF in connection with their departure for permanent residence outside the Republic of Kazakhstan, unless otherwise provided by the laws of the Republic of Kazakhstan and international treaties ratified by the Republic of Kazakhstan. In connection with the death of a person with pension savingsIn the event of the death of a person with pension savings in the UAPF, their UAPF family members are paid a one-time funeral payment from the deceased person's pension savings up to an amount equal to 94 times the monthly calculation index established for the relevant financial year by the law on the republican budget, but no more than the deceased person's available IPSA funds.Pension and targeted savings are also inherited in accordance with the procedures established by the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Within six months of the death of a person with savings, their heirs must contact a notary to register the deceased person's savings and obtain a certificate of inheritance. If the deadline is missed, they must apply to the courts to restore their inheritance rights.A list of required documents for receiving pension benefits, depending on the type of pension benefit and the method of application, is available on the enpf.kz website in the "Services - Pension Benefits" section.                                 UAPF was founded on August 22, 2013 on the basis of GNPF APF JSC.

Investment income for investors is generated through pension asset management by the National Bank of Kazakhstan (NBRK) and private investment portfolio managers (IPMs).Based on the NBRK's investment activities in managing pension assets formed through compulsory pension contributions (CPC), compulsory occupational pension contributions (COPC), and voluntary pension contributions (VPC), the accrued investment income for the past 12 months from May 2025 to April 2026 amounted to approximately 2.00 trillion tenge, with a return of 8.57% for this period. For pension assets formed through employer's compulsory pension contributions (ECPC), accrued investment income as of May 1, 2026, over the past 12 months amounted to 108.19 billion tenge, with a return of 17.49%.As a reminder, trustees adhere to a balanced investment policy, investing pension assets in various types of financial instruments across currencies, countries, economic sectors, and issuers. Investment income is generated from various sources: fees on securities, deposits, and other transactions, market and currency revaluations of financial instruments, assets under external management, etc. The amount of investment income depends on a variety of factors, including changes in the market value of financial instruments, exchange rate fluctuations, inflation, dividend payments, and other market conditions. Therefore, returns may increase or decrease over different periods, which, in turn, affects the total amount of pension savings for contributors. The main reason for the decrease in investment income since the beginning of this year is the negative exchange rate revaluation of foreign currency assets due to the appreciation of the tenge against the US dollar from 505.53 to 462.91 tenge per US dollar.Despite financial market volatility, positive investment income and a real return on pension savings are ensured in the medium and long term. The accumulated investment return since the inception of the funded pension system in 1998 as of May 1, 2026, was 1,060.20%, with inflation for the entire period at 979.41%.As of May 1, 2026, the net investment income earned by the NBRK since April 1, 2014 (following the consolidation of pension assets into the UAPF) amounted to 10.21 trillion tenge. Taking into account benefit payments made, its share of the total pension savings of contributors (beneficiaries) is 39.7%, demonstrating the significant role of investment activity in the structure of citizens' savings.It is important to note that the return on pension assets for individual short-term periods is not an indicator of their management effectiveness, as income from interest on financial instruments and other transactions accrued over a short period of time does not always cover fluctuations in securities prices and exchange rates over a given period. Therefore, it is advisable to objectively analyze the amount of investment income over a longer period. As a reminder, contributors have the right to transfer a portion of their pension assets (up to 50% of pension savings from compulsory pension contributions and up to 100% of pension savings from voluntary pension contributions) to a private investment portfolio manager (IPM) that meets the regulator's requirements. Compared to the more conservative management of the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan, which is aimed at preserving pension assets and ensuring their positive long-term returns, the IPM's investment declarations and regulatory requirements provide for broader investment opportunities for IPMs to increase the return on pension assets (however, the risks associated with IPMs are also higher). The entire investment management and pension asset accounting system is transparent: each investor can view their investment income in their personal account on the enpf.kz website or in the mobile app.Information on the investment management of UAPF pension assets and on the financial instruments in which UAPF pension assets are invested is published on the official website of UAPF (https://www.enpf.kz/en/) in the section “Statistics and Analytics/Investment Management of Pension Assets”, as well as on the portal invest.enpf.kz   UAPF was founded on August 22, 2013 on the basis of GNPF APF JSC.
