Statements about the discrepancy between the data of the USDA and the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan on grain yields in Kazakhstan by 8 million tons are untrue. Thus, 18 million tons collected by Kazakhstan according to the data of the division of the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) are wheat crop data, and 26.7 million tons according to the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan are grain and leguminous crops (barley, oats, peas, lentils, etc.), including wheat. It should be noted that in all official reports, the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan has consistently disclosed data that the total harvest of 2024 includes cereals and legumes, for which joint mention in agricultural statistics is an abnormal practice. According to the operational data of the akimats of the regions, grain and leguminous crops were harvested from an area of 16.7 million hectares with an average yield of 16.1 c/ha, 26.7 million tons in initial weight were harvested.At the same time, according to the statistical form "On the harvest of agricultural crops", data are submitted by agricultural producers once a year at their location to the statistical authorities. The final data will be published on the website of the Bureau of National Statistics of the Republic of Kazakhstan in early February. At the same time, the data in the initial weight may differ from the final data on average, taking into account refactoring. The arguments for the thesis of overestimated data on the 2024 harvest include a decrease in yields due to floods, although small areas of agricultural land fell into the flood zone, the commission confirmed the damage from flooding by 3.8 thousand hectares. In addition, most soils quickly absorb moisture, and its sufficient volume contributes to a high yield. Other arguments, such as the lack of fertilizers and agricultural machinery, are also untenable. Thanks to the government support, there is a positive trend in the application of mineral fertilizers. Thus, over 5 years, the volume of fertilizers increased 2.2 times from 600 thousand tons in 2020 to 1.2 million tons in 2024 (the volume of subsidies during this period increased 1.7 times from 27.3 to 46.4 billion tenge).The same applies to the rate of equipment renewal: by the end of 2024, the industry reached 5.5% of the fleet renewal rate, which is 1 percentage point higher than a year earlier. In 2024, a large–scale program of preferential leasing of agricultural machinery of domestic production in the amount of 120 billion tenge was launched with a remuneration rate of 5% per annum and for a period of 7 years. In 2024, farmers purchased 22,000 units of machinery, which is 12% higher than in 2023. The necessary measures were also taken to combat diseases – working capital was provided at 5%, including for the purchase of plant protection products, and subsidies for pesticides amounted to 35.9 billion tenge. The Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan strives for transparent and objective statistics in the industry, to this end, in 2024, together with the BTS, a lot of work was done to reduce attributions, and the Ministry is constantly taking the initiative to move away from the industry's GDP indicators in assessing the quality of M&E work.

Key issues related to the development of breeding and seed production, as well as spring field work in 2025 were discussed at a meeting in NANOC.It was attended by the heads of subsidiaries and experienced agronomists.The meeting participants considered a number of topical issues related to the adaptation of agronomic practices to various natural and climatic zones of Kazakhstan, conducting a sowing campaign, and improving the efficiency of agricultural producers.Problematic issues in the field of breeding were also voiced. Temirzhan Aitbayev, Chairman of the Board of the Kazakh Scientific Research Institute of Fruit and Vegetable Production, proposed testing foreign varieties on a fee basis, since today about 75-80% of the varieties included in the commission are foreign. This will allow funds to be used to increase the material and technical base and wages of employees. According to him, special attention should be paid to reviewing the subsidy mechanism: it is proposed to restore the ratio of 70% for domestic seeds and 30% for foreign seeds, as well as to provide farmers with a choice between seed producers.During the meeting, the results of the work of the A.I. Baraev NPCKH team for 2024 were announced.

From January 1, 2025, thanks to the growth of pension savings, the annual increase in social parameters and the indexation of benefits, the size of pension benefits from the UAPF will continue to increase for those who are just starting or continue to receive their funded pension.As is known, the funded pension of each contributor depends on the amount of his pension savings formed through pension contributions and accumulated investment income. Upon reaching retirement age or other conditions provided for by the Social Code, the investor begins to receive regular payments from the UAPF.Let us remind you that payments from the Unified Accumulative Pension Fund are made in accordance with the Methodology for calculating the amount of pension benefits, approved by the Decree of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated June 30, 2023. In accordance with it, monthly benefits to citizens retiring are calculated as follows: in the first year of receiving payments, the amount of pension savings is multiplied by the pension savings payment rate of 6.5% and divided by 12. In subsequent years, the monthly benefit increases by the pension indexation rate in the amount of 5%. At the same time, monthly payments from the UAPF are made in the amount of at least 70% of the subsistence minimum (hereinafter - SM), established for the corresponding financial year by the law on the republican budget (in 2025, SM - 46,228 tenge). The maximum amount of benefits from the UAPF is not limited and depends on the amount of pension savings of the beneficiary.For the following categories of citizens: persons with disability groups 1 or 2, established indefinitely, as well as persons who have reached retirement age, for whom compulsory occupational pension contributions have been paid in total for at least sixty months, the Methodology provides for correction factors that increase the calculated amount of the monthly pension benefit. For persons who meet more than one of the above conditions, the correction factor with the highest value is applied.Pension benefits from the UAPF are paid until the pension savings in the individual pension savings account are exhausted. Since individual pension savings are the property of the contributor, they are also inherited in the general manner provided for by civil legislation. UAPF was founded on August 22, 2013 on the basis of GNPF APF JSC. The founder and shareholder of the UAPF is the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan represented by the State Institution Committee of State Property and Privatization of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Trust management of UAPF pension assets is carried out by the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan. In accordance with the pension legislation, the UAPF attracts compulsory pension contributions, employer’s compulsory pension contributions, compulsory occupational pension contributions, voluntary pension contributions, as well as carries out enrollment and accounting of voluntary pension contributions formed at the expense of the unclaimed amount of guaranteed compensation for the guaranteed deposit, transferred by the organization carrying out mandatory guarantee of deposits, in accordance with the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On mandatory guarantee of deposits placed in second-tier banks of the Republic of Kazakhstan", ensures the implementation of pension benefits. The Fund also carries out accounting of target assets and target requirements, accounting and crediting of target savings (TS) to target savings accounts, payments of TS to their recipients in bank accounts, accounting for returns of TS in the manner determined by the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan within the framework of the National Fund for Children program (More details at www.enpf.kz).
