Raising agriculture to a new level is one of the important priorities of the country's economy. Today, in many regions, excellent agricultural enterprises are operating, covering all stages of production. They are well known to the people, and these enterprises are significantly increasing the efficiency of production through the widespread introduction of digitalization methods. Entrepreneurs should become the main driving force of the digital development of our country. The share of small and medium-sized businesses in the gross domestic product is 40 percent, and their share in employment is almost 50 percent. These indicators are not bad, however, only through systematic improvement of this sector can a new impetus be given to the development of the economy and improvement of the quality of life of the population. At the same time, the ministry should develop a plan to support agribusiness in the livestock sector and take concrete financing measures. The main goal is to fully supply the domestic market with quality meat products and increase the export potential of this industry. 📌 President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev From the Message of September 8, 2025* #Agriculture #Entrepreneurship #Digitalization #EconomicDevelopment #PresidentialAddress

2025 is the Year of Working Professions. This initiative is aimed at increasing the importance of technical and working professions that form the basis of the country's economy. One of them is the profession of a turner. A turner is a skilled worker who has mastered complex methods of processing metal and other materials. His main task is to manufacture various parts with high precision, adjust them to the required dimensions and process them qualitatively. This profession is widely used in various fields of production - mechanical engineering, construction, energy and transport. Today, the skills and experience of lathe specialists are being improved in line with new technologies and the requirements of modern production. Working with automated systems and numerical control devices has become part of their professional skills. The profession of a turner is a responsible profession that requires perseverance, diligence, and technical thinking. The owners of this profession make an invaluable contribution to the development of the country's industry. We believe that by 2025, the value of working professions will increase, and the prestige of professions such as turners in society will rise to a new level. #WorkingProfessionsYear
