The results of the audit of the Supreme Audit Chamber of the subsidy system in agriculture were heard today at the Plenary session of the Mazhilis of the Parliament.The effectiveness of subsidies in the agro-industrial complex is evidenced by the following indicators: recipients of subsidies in crop production in 2023 harvested 18.5 c/ha, when the national average yield was at the level of 10 c/ha. In 2024, it will be 25-30 kg/ha, which is also higher than the national average.Poultry and livestock enterprises are also demonstrating steady growth in production volumes. So, in 5 years, the poultry industry has increased the availability of poultry meat from 55% to 73%. Only in the period 2022-2023 the increase in production amounted to 16%. These are very good indicators. For example, Aytas holding has increased production volumes 5.5 times in 5 years, reaching 160 thousand tons of products per year. Aulie Ata Phoenix LLP has doubled production volumes in 3 years: from 5 to 10 thousand tons per year. In dairy production, average milk yields in modern MTFs have reached 7800 liters per year per 1 feed cow, and the leaders milk 11 thousand liters each, which meets all international standards. Although in 2021, the average yield in agricultural enterprises was 4,400 liters per year.For comparison, in 2014, the level of equipment upgrade was only 2%, 5,000 cars were purchased per year, and now at the end of the year this figure was 5.5%, farmers purchased 22 thousand units of modern equipment.It should be noted that in the agricultural sector there are 14 areas of subsidization, 90 thousand registered users, 224 thousand applications are received per year. Given these scales, errors and errors are not excluded. However, the Audit revealed financial irregularities in the amount of 2 billion tenge, which is 0.2% of the amount of 943 billion tenge covered by the audit. This indicates the overall normal functioning of the system.By the end of 2023, the domestic market is 100% or more secured for 10 commodity items, including wheat flour, salt, bread, rice, pasta, sunflower oil, potatoes, lamb, beef and carrots.The security of 14 food products is 80% or more, including chicken eggs, cucumbers, horse meat, tomatoes, milk, buckwheat groats, cabbage, pepper, pork, onions, beets, fermented dairy products, butter and apples.In 2024, the Ministry of Agriculture has taken a number of measures to increase the effectiveness of subsidies. So, in 2024, out of 450 billion tenge of subsidies, 50% are directed to financial instruments, mainly to reduce the cost of interest rates on loans and leasing. Their final recipients are second–tier banks and financial institutions. Changes have been made so that farmers receive a cheaper loan at a net 5%.This practice will continue – in working capital for processing, animal husbandry, as well as long-term money for investment purposes. The task is to provide the industry with resources. Counter-obligations have also been introduced in the form of an increase in the gross output of agricultural producers. The Ministry takes into account all the data based on the results of the review of the recommendation.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/moa/press/news/details/900580

During the analyzed period 2022-2023, the audit managed to cover 943 billion tenge, while financial violations were detected in the amount of 2 billion tenge, which is 0.2% of the total amount. This indicates the overall normal functioning of the system. Funds for financial violations have been restored.Regarding the conclusion of the VAP on the inefficiency of 142 billion tenge of subsidies in the agro-industrial complex, we inform you that these funds were spent mainly on subsidizing the reduction in the cost of poultry meat production, subsidizing breeding work with KPC and MPC breeding stock and subsidizing insurance, which have proven their effectiveness.In particular, on poultry meat: the auditors conclude that there is no economic effect of 34 billion tenge of subsidies allocated in 2022-2023 in the form of reducing the cost of products for the buyer and meeting the needs of the domestic market.However, subsidies are given to reduce the cost of poultry meat production, that is, to increase competitiveness in the market occupied by imported suppliers. The presence of domestic producers in all retail chains and markets indicates an increasing share of Kazakhstani production and the effectiveness of subsidies. In 5 years, it was possible to reduce import dependence by 18%, the self-sufficiency of the domestic market is 73% by the end of 2023, and production growth in just one year (2022-2023) amounted to 16%. Moreover, Kazakhstanis began to consume less frozen chicken meat and more fresh chilled poultry meat. This year (according to the results of 9 months), Kazakhstan imported 10 thousand tons less poultry meat, and exported 10 thousand tons more. This indicates the progressive development of the industry and the strengthening of food security in Kazakhstan.On breeding and breeding work with breeding stock of cattle and cattle: this type of subsidies over the years has led to an increase in the average live weight of livestock. For example, the average live weight of cattle is 380-400 kg, and in organized farms receiving subsidies it reaches 500+ kg. Before the introduction of subsidies, this figure was 240-260 kg, that is, the increase is obvious.Over the years, this subsidy has created demand for breeding stock, that is, it provided an incentive for the development of an entire production chain in meat farming. Moreover, subsidies for breeding and breeding work are the most widespread type of state support, which is received by more than 20 thousand mainly small farms, the total amount of state support amounted to 66 billion tenge in 2022-2023.Subsidies for insurance in the agricultural sector were called ineffective, since budget funds were in the account, and there is also a balance in the account. However, insurance subsidies are based on the principle of cost co-financing, not reimbursement. Therefore, the money must be in accounts and insurance companies are guided by them. Previously allocated funds (balances) were fully utilized in 2024. According to statistics, in 2024, about 0.5 million hectares were insured, while applications from farmers were 3 times more or 1.5 million hectares. In 2025, 10 billion tenge will be required to subsidize insurance premiums, which will provide insurance coverage for 20% of the total area of cultivated land.Farmers who receive subsidies, also called "non-existent", are enterprises whose economic activity does not relate to entrepreneurial activity in the field of agriculture. According to the Rules of Subsidization, there is no requirement at the direction of the OKED. One of the main conditions for obtaining subsidies in the field of crop production is the availability of an agricultural land plot. That is, the presence of a land plot for agricultural purposes confirms that the agricultural enterprise has the right to engage in agricultural activities on these lands.In cases where the absence of an agricultural land plot is imputed (for 40 subjects whose land plots do not belong to agricultural purposes), the information is not confirmed during reconciliation. According to the updated data of the Land Management Committee, agricultural land plots with the intended purpose "for farming" or "for commercial agriculture" are registered for the persons indicated in the audit report.The subsidy mechanism in the agro-industrial complex is based on the principle of cost recovery. That is, the farmer first bears the costs, and then receives compensation in the form of subsidies.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/moa/press/news/details/900903

In Astana, a comprehensive fight is being carried out aimed at preventing the cost of gambling. To date, in order to combat ludomania, the Jarqyn bolashaq project is being implemented at the initiative of the Youth Resource Center "Astana zhastary", the official website of the capital's mayor's office reports.The Jarqyn bolashaq project will help teenagers and young people find a profitable alternative to gambling and protect themselves from scammers. As part of the project, psychologists and addictologists will give lectures."At the meeting, the topic of ways to prevent gambling addiction was discussed. We also talk about life values. Values serve as the basis for the development of an active position of the individual, self-knowledge, the formation of the worldview of the younger generation. Such lectures will increase the legal literacy of young people," said Azamat Zhamankarayev, an addictologist.According to him, in most cases, the only reason for the appearance of a bad habit in a child is a bad environment. In addition to thinning the pocket, gambling addiction also brings trouble to parents and loved ones."The child does not take responsibility for himself, that is, he continues to play. And he keeps the debt on the shoulders of his parents. He may even hide what he owes. To get out of the impasse, he takes cash on credit. In a word, he does not know that he is in debt. His bottom leads to drugs. Today, children aged 16-17 are becoming addicted to gambling. If a person is able to control his actions, then he stops the game. And those who cannot control are dependent people. If he plays computer games for 2-3 hours a day, has time for classes, communicates with friends and communicates with society, then we cannot say that he is a dependent person," the specialist said.The addictologist also told how to deal with gambling addiction among young people. According to him, a person should take full responsibility for himself, it is better not to put everything on the shoulders of the parents. It is necessary to be able to plan and spend the money earned for the right purpose. It is better not to forget to devote part of his daily time to sports. The main thing is to choose the right medium for mixing.He noted that a large number of motivational campaigns and advertising of betting companies in the direction of rapid enrichment also affect a person."You can tell a child's gambling addiction by the following signs. First, he cannot control the time of playing the game. For example, if the parents allow themselves to play games for half an hour, and the child does not notice how two hours have passed.
