272 amendments have been made to the current code over the past 20 years. Amirkhan Kenshimov, an expert in the field of water management, expressed his opinion on the draft of the new Water Code. According to him, in the current code, many norms remained declarative, some are repeated or contradict each other."The 2003 Water Code was developed based on the water policy and economic conditions of that time. However, today, in the face of climate change, it no longer meets modern requirements. In the new version of the code, the norms were systematized, and emphasis was placed on the conservation and economy of water resources. For example, basin inspections are transferred not only the functions of state control, but also the powers of investigation. This will strengthen the fight against illegal use of water," said hydraulic engineer Amirkhan Kenshimov.The draft of the new Water Code, developed by the Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation, was unanimously approved by the deputies of the Mazhilis at the first reading.The document pays special attention to adaptation to climate change and the implementation of water conservation principles. For the first time, the concept of "ecological runoff" is being introduced, which will protect water bodies from depletion and other negative consequences. They also introduced standards for the protection of small lakes, rivers, ponds, glaciers and wetlands.On behalf of the Head of state, measures to protect settlements and facilities from floods and meltwater were added to the draft code. In order to improve water resources management, the powers of state and local executive bodies, as well as local authorized bodies, have been clearly delineated.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/water/press/news/details/892855

Kazakhstan has become an honorary guest of the 21st China International Agricultural Products Exhibition, which takes place from November 29 to December 1 in Guangzhou.More than 30 leading Kazakhstani enterprises engaged in the production of agricultural products have demonstrated the potential and capabilities of the Kazakh agro-industrial complex for international partners and investors."The national exposition of Kazakhstan at the Guangzhou exhibition is an important step towards strengthening our country's position in the international market of agricultural products and demonstrating its high quality standards.Today, companies whose products most vividly demonstrate the quality of agricultural products produced in Kazakhstan and its diversity presented their products here," Vice Minister of Agriculture Yermek Kenzhehanuly said at the opening of the pavilion.Minister of Agriculture and Rural Affairs Han Jun visited the pavilion.The pavilion presents high-quality products made in KZ: safflower, sunflower, rapeseed oils, granulated feed, meat products, poultry products, flour, beverages, the domestic brand "aport", dry mare and camel milk, honey, ice cream and more.The visitors were particularly interested in products of deep grain processing, such as gluten, starch, bioethanol. These products are in demand and exported to India, the USA, Colombia, the CIS countries and the European Union.Also, within the framework of the exhibition, a forum was organized to promote the development of agriculture, at which topical issues of the agro-industrial complex were discussed with the participation of the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of the People's Republic of China Han Jun, employees of the government of Guangzhou Province, experts and scientists, agricultural producers, representatives of financial and investment institutions.The Vice Minister noted that China is a strategic partner of Kazakhstan in the field of agriculture and the largest trading partner in the field of agro-industrial products. In 2023, the trade turnover of agro-industrial products with China increased by 1.7 times, exceeding $ 1.3 billion."Now food security is an urgent issue for the whole world, and Kazakhstan plays an important role in ensuring it. Over the past five years, exports of agricultural products have almost doubled, and we aim to bring it to $ 10 billion in the next five years. Our country holds a firm position among the world's top ten wheat exporters and is significantly strengthening its position in animal husbandry. The long-term agricultural policy implemented by the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan creates favorable conditions for conducting agribusiness and provides support to the sector. Exporting high-quality livestock products, increasing the volume of production and processing of agricultural products remain a priority for us. We also continue to attract foreign direct investment and create joint ventures with an emphasis on mutually beneficial cooperation," he said.With the participation of Chinese investors, a number of significant projects have been successfully implemented in Kazakhstan, including the production of rapeseed oil in North Kazakhstan region, processing and production of camel and mare's milk powder in Turkestan. The issue of implementing 5 more investment projects worth about $ 700 million is being worked out.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/moa/press/news/details/893063

In early October, JSC NC Food Corporation launched a program to consolidate grain export shipments for small farms and traders. The project is being implemented in accordance with the instruction of the Head of State to increase exports of goods from the agro-industrial sector. BidayShah company, which specializes in the supply of Kazakh agricultural products abroad, became one of the first participants of the program.According to the director of BidayShah LLP, Dauren Omerkulov, with the support of the grain operator, his company has already concluded four export contracts with buyers from Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and China. The products of agricultural producers of the Karaganda region will be sent to the markets of these countries: Agrosynthesis LLP, 4 Luck LLP, Nurasyl Farm, Karagaily farm."Our cooperation with the farms of the Osakarovsky district began in 2022. We usually try to buy grain from farmers at a price above the market so that farmers can receive their revenue and maintain the profitability of the business. The sale of goods on foreign markets allows you to make payments in foreign currency, and thanks to the real buyer, the money is returned within three to four weeks, depending on the contract," explained Dauren Omerkulov.According to him, agricultural enterprises have already completed the loading of wheat and flax seeds. In the coming days, 19 wagons with agricultural products will arrive in Kyrgyzstan, the remaining 16 will be delivered to the customer from Uzbekistan. The efficiency of the transaction was positively influenced by the assistance of the state grain operator."The food Corporation helped not only with the search for buyers, but also with the approval of additional transportation plans by rail, and also provided us with reliable freight forwarders. On our own, it would be more difficult for us to find importers in a short time, conclude contracts and ensure delivery," the trader noted.According to Dauren Omerkulov, Kazakhstani producers and exporters of agricultural products are interested in new markets, but logistics issues are becoming the main deterrent for them."The agro-industrial sector is in a state of compressed spring today, it needs a little help in logistics, and this industry will shoot. Due to the geographical distance from capacious solvent markets, our manufacturers and traders have to spend significant money on the delivery of goods, which automatically makes it uncompetitive in price. Therefore, subsidizing transportation costs will be a significant contribution of the state to the development of exports. Then small and medium—sized traders and small agricultural companies will have more opportunities to enter world markets," the expert believes.The Government is currently developing a mechanism to reimburse exporters for the transportation of grain to priority markets, including Azerbaijan, the European Union, North Africa, Iran, Afghanistan and Southeast Asia. Dauren Omerkulov is convinced that the result of this work will not take long to wait. The high purchasing potential of new markets will encourage manufacturers of Kazakh products to explore foreign destinations. And one more important point: when a farmer understands which types of products are in demand from buyers in different countries, he will move faster to diversify production."Who is interested in growing something new if they don't know who will buy it? The issue rests on the sales market. A wide range of crops can be produced in our country, but they remain unclaimed on the local market. Kazakhstanis, for example, prefer products made from soft wheat rather than buckwheat flour — this is simply not part of our habits. Yes, the share of such products is gradually growing, but let's look objectively: in 10 years their consumption will not increase tenfold. At the same time, there is a demand for such crops in foreign markets, especially in Europe or Asia. Now Southeast Asia is actively discovering new types of products. Europe is interested in organic products, while inner China, where 80% of the solvent population lives, is also focused on niche crops. All this creates additional opportunities for Kazakhstani producers and traders," the expert emphasizes.By the end of the marketing year, BidayShah plans to export about 10 thousand tons of grain. The company mainly focuses on the supply of flax and leguminous crops to foreign markets. In the future, it plans to expand the names of exports, there is a desire to sell buckwheat and chickpeas to foreign consumers.Dauren Omerkulov expects to further promote grain export shipments through the Food Corporation. At the same time, he emphasizes the need to consolidate the efforts of the state and business. In particular, KazakhExport, KazTrade and Food Corporations propose to create a dialogue platform for traders on the basis of national export promotion companies."One in the field is not a warrior. It is difficult for a small trader with small volumes to compete in the market. Due to the lack of consistency, we are losing opportunities. To enter large markets, you need to unite, negotiate and overcome barriers together. This will increase profitability and help open new horizons for Kazakh agricultural products," summed up Dauren Omerkulov, Director of BidayShah LLP.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/moa/press/news/details/892568

On November 28, 2024, the Central Communications Service under the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan held a press conference on the topic "On ensuring safety in the operation of gas supply systems", at which the speaker was Dubaev Rashid Kulteavich, Acting Chairman of the Industrial Safety Committee of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Republic of Kazakhstan.As Rashid Kultaevich noted, ensuring safety during the operation of gas supply systems is one of the most important priorities of the state policy in the field of industrial safety. The priority task is to ensure uninterrupted and safe gas supply, minimize leaks, accidents and life-threatening situations. This requires a comprehensive approach, such as updating infrastructure, conducting regular inspections, complying with strict standards, as well as training and informing specialists and citizens.To date, the country's gasification level is 59%, that is, 11.6 million people are provided with gas. Gasification is particularly well developed in the western and southern regions, but the level of gasification remains low in the North Kazakhstan, Pavlodar and Abai regions."The latest statistics related to accidents in the field of gas supply cannot but cause concern. The main share of accidents occurs during the heating period: 70% of cases are problems with gas cylinders, 25% are carbon monoxide poisoning, and 5% are other incidents. During the heating period, many residents store household cylinders on the street, and then bring them into their homes without waiting for the complete evaporation of liquefied petroleum gas, after which they connect them to gas equipment, which significantly increases the risks of accidents," said Rashid Dubayev, Acting Chairman of the Industrial Safety Committee of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Republic of Kazakhstan.In 2024, inspectors of the Industrial Safety Committee of the Ministry of Emergency Situations conducted 40 inspections of gas supply facilities, 479 violations were detected, 12 cases of administrative offenses were initiated, and 12 facilities were suspended. In 2022-2023, more than 190 inspections were carried out, more than 1,000 violations were detected and 31 cases were initiated.For the efficient and safe operation of gas systems, it is important not only to be monitored by the state, but also to carry out preventive measures and regular inspections. This year, more than 500 rounds have been organized in residential areas, social infrastructure and private homes have been checked, especially in those that require special attention. More than 80 meetings were also held with the participation of gas supply organizations and more than 800 materials were published on social networks.At the end of his speech, Acting Chairman of the Industrial Safety Committee of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Republic of Kazakhstan Rashid Dubayev stressed the key safety measures in the operation of gas equipment and household gas cylinders.

Explanatory work on the Prevention of drug addiction among young people continues in the capital. Within the framework of the project" Astana – a city without drugs", the next meeting on the Prevention of drug addiction was held in the school-gymnasium No. 74 named after Mukagali Makatayev. It was attended by students of grades 10 and 11 of the University, the official website of the mayor's Office of the city reports."Today, our school conducts explanatory work on the Prevention of drug addiction within the framework of the project" Astana – a city without drugs". This is not the first event in such a direction. The meeting was attended by more than 300 students. Its goal is to explain to young people that it is necessary to avoid mistakes," said Gulzhan Ust - Kamenogorsk, deputy director for educational work of M. Makatayev school-gymnasium No. 74.The event was led by a leading specialist of the NGO" Union of Youth and children's organizations", psychologist Assel Pirimbek, senior prosecutor of the prosecutor's Office of Astana Azamat Toktarbay.The main purpose of the meeting is to explain the harm of narcotic drugs to future life, to avoid negative habits, to educate in a healthy lifestyle."Teenagers are often involved in the distribution of drugs. Because it is easier for them to exert their influence than for others. School-age children are deceived by such promises as "I will give you a fabulous life", "your financial situation will improve." In fact, this is a fake. Today's meeting is held in order to prevent such a situation. Armed with information, a person knows how to take precautions," Assel Pirimbek said.According to the specialist, one of the main causes of drug addiction among adolescents is the feeling that no one needs it."In fact, this is normal. This is what happens in adolescence. To think that" no one understands me " is a mistake. For example, I am now asking you personally, "do you feel lonely? if I ask "yes", the answer will be "yes". And many run away from this feeling of" being alone". In this regard, I want to say that it is not a shame to ask for help from others. "Mom, Dad, I'm bad. It's not a shame to say" please talk to me." If your relationship with your parents is not close enough to tell your secret inside you, then you can turn to a school psychologist for help at any time. When he says" go to a psychologist, " he is shocked. It is thought that only a person who is not sane will go. This is an erroneous opinion. It is not a shame to listen to the mind of a specialist. The psychologist and coach are also visited by people who have achieved success in life," the specialist said.According to experts, a person caught in a drug trap cannot easily get rid of it. A person with this disease falls into such a state that he cannot live without it. As a result, he destroys his health and life. Even the lives of loved ones can be threatened."How do teenagers say no to drugs? It is necessary that he has the qualities of confidence. It is necessary to seek support from parents, teachers, peers. It is also worth doing sports and creativity in your free time," he said.Teenagers want imitators. Therefore, experts say that once he used drugs, nothing could happen, and as a result, he did not know that he was a drug addict.At the end of the speech, the psychologist told the students that "it is important not to forget that drugs do not solve human problems.""Criminal liability for a number of crimes begins at the age of 14. For the distribution of drugs and their storage, he faces up to 20 years in prison. This means that about half of a person's life is spent behind bars. It is true that after leaving it, the person will not have fun. And the attitude of society to such a person will also be different. For example, this year more than 150 people have been brought to justice in Astana for illegal trafficking of narcotic drugs and Psychotropic Substances. These are people aged 16 to 45 years, " said Azamat Toktarbay, senior prosecutor of the prosecutor's Office of Astana.In addition, during the meeting, students were shown videos of anti-drug orientation, the harmfulness of drugs and Psychotropic Substances, students were explained the values of legal culture, the principles of the rule of law.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/astana/press/news/details/892252

As part of a working detour of the Medeu district, Akim of Almaty Yerbolat Dosayev got acquainted with the results of construction work.There were no utility networks in the residential area, which was annexed to the city in 2014. They were built only in 2021, but the water supply became possible thanks to the implementation of the large-scale Balkhash project, carried out on behalf of the Mayor of Almaty this year. 5 reservoirs with a capacity of 6.9 thousand cubic meters and 3 wells with a capacity of 7.3 thousand cubic meters per day were built along the emergency line.Within the framework of this project in the MD. Kolsai this year, a main water supply network was built connecting the microdistrict with a water source - the Balkhash water intake station, with the installation of a pumping station and a reservoir with a volume of 400 cubic meters.As a result, more than 2 thousand residents of the MKR are covered by central communications. Kolsai. In addition, this highway will provide uninterrupted water supply to the MKR. Jubilee, where about 4 thousand people live."The Head of State pays special attention to the water supply and sanitation of the city of Almaty. According to the instruction of the President, we intend to provide 100% coverage, especially in the upper part of the city, in the Medeu and Bostandyk districts, where the annexed territories are located, which have long remained out of attention. Md. Kolsai confirms this: there was nothing here, former horticultural associations, narrow corridors. We have built not only new networks, but also installed additional pumping stations and water reservoirs in order to provide these areas with stable and reliable water supply. We are not only working with networks, but also improving the road infrastructure. In accordance with the new standards for the implementation of such projects, work is underway to restore asphalt pavement to the entire width of streets to ensure the comfort of citizens," Yerbolat Dosayev said. The head of the city noted that for 2025-2026 this work in the district will be continued. In two years, it is planned to build engineering networks with a total length of 136 km, covering more than 20 thousand residents of the district."Special attention is being paid to the Medeu district, and all neighborhoods will be put in order. In particular, mkr. Kamenskoye plateau, where we will build almost 50 km of networks. We will also cover the mkr. A mining giant, which is perceived by many as a prosperous area, but in fact there are no engineering networks in its upper part, so almost 30 km of new networks will be laid there. The MKR will be covered by engineering communications. Alatau, located 25 km from the city. I think by the end of 2025, the contours of the looped systems will be outlined and maximum water supply will be provided," the Mayor of Almaty summed up.It should be noted that the water supply of the upper part of the Medeu district is located in the zone of influence of surface sources.

The project "Inclusion in Ecology – a New Year's miracle" starts in Almaty on November 28. As part of the campaign, anyone can purchase Christmas tree toys and decorations for offices and other institutions made by children with special needs. The toys will be made of recycled plastic and painted by children as part of creative workshops with eco-trainers.Both individuals and organizations of the city can participate in the project. Companies can invite their employees to take part in a challenge, during which each of them will purchase one or more Christmas tree toys. The Eco-Hub accepts an application for the manufacture of toys and invites a partner rehabilitation center or comes to the children to transfer ready-made materials for creativity. Children, together with eco-trainers, make Christmas decorations, which can then be used by companies to decorate offices, shop windows, restaurants or city Christmas trees. Some of the toys may remain with children to decorate their rehabilitation centers. After the process is completed, each company receives a report from the Eco-Hub, as well as a link to a video from the events.Evgeny Mukhamedzhanov, the initiator of the project, says that the idea of the action did not arise by chance: "Special children come to our master classes who are interested in making new toys with their own hands. We noticed that it is here that they feel needed and involved in the holiday, they are doing well here. Therefore, we wanted their work to be appreciated by society. And tomorrow, if they see their toy on the city Christmas tree, in the window of a store or restaurant, their hearts will flutter even more," he shares.Eco-friendly and creative toys are ideal for New Year's corporate boxes, office decoration and retail outlets. It is important that if toys lose their relevance after the holidays, they can be recycled again and new products can be created, maintaining an eco-friendly recycling cycle.For more information, residents can contact the Eco-Hub at 44 Markova Street or by phone +7 707 358 9992 .Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/almaty/press/news/details/892265
