The 12th meeting of the Parliamentary Commission for Monitoring the Implementation of National Sustainable Development Goals and Objectives of the Republic of Kazakhstan was held today in Atyrau, chaired by Senate Speaker Maulen Ashimbayev. Participants raised issues related to the sustainable management of the aquatic ecosystems of the Caspian Sea and the Zhaiyk River in the context of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Senators also met with the public and employees of several social and industrial facilities in the region.During the parliamentary commission meeting, environmental issues related to the region's water basins were highlighted. In particular, according to the Senate Speaker, issues related to pollution, declining fish populations, and increasing anthropogenic impact on the region's ecosystems require special attention."President Kassym-Jomart Kemelevich Tokayev has repeatedly emphasized that the rapid decline in the Caspian Sea level has ceased to be an exclusively regional problem and has become a global one. As a practical response, Kazakhstan has initiated the development of an Interstate Program for the Conservation of Caspian Sea Water Resources. Continuing to advance the international water agenda, the Head of State also proposed establishing a Center for Water Analysis under the auspices of the SCO in Astana and proposed establishing the International Water Organization as a specialized UN agency. The issue of the Zhaiyk River is no less pressing. It is important to note that these problems cannot be considered in isolation. They require interagency coordination, scientifically sound solutions, and the active participation of local executive bodies, the expert community, public environmental organizations, and international partners," Maulen Ashimbayev said.The lack of a systematic approach to the shallowing of the Caspian Sea was also noted during the meeting. In the Zhaiyk Delta area and the coast of the Mangystau Region, the coast has retreated by 30-35 kilometers, leading to soil salinization, ecosystem degradation, and the loss of spawning grounds. The risk of dust storms with toxic sediments is increasing. The Chairman of the Parliamentary Commission emphasized that preserving the Caspian Sea and the Zhaiyk River is a matter of long-term environmental security, quality of life for citizens, and sustainable development of the entire Caspian region, outlining key tasks for the upcoming joint work of the government, science, the public, business, and international partners to achieve the SDGs.Along with members of the Senate and Majilis of the Parliament of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the meeting of the parliamentary commission was attended by Minister of Water Resources and Irrigation Nurzhan Nurzhigitov, Akim of the Atyrau Region Serik Shapkenov, and representatives of the Ministries of Agriculture, Ecology and Natural Resources, and National Economy.Presentations were also given by UNDP Resident Representative in Kazakhstan Katarzyna Wawiernia, international expert on water resources management and climate change and coordinator of the Central Asian Platform for Water Resources Management and Climate Change Bulat Yessekin, heads of regional akimats, and representatives of public and international organizations.Government representatives and experts presented recommendations and initiatives for further joint work, the implementation of which, as the Senate Speaker noted, will be monitored by the public and interested parties.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/atyrau/press/news/details/1236361?lang=ru

Senate Speaker Maulen Ashimbayev's visit to Atyrau continued with a meeting with regional youth. During the meeting, the Speaker highlighted key aspects of the Constitution, describing the document as a long-term vector for state development and the modernization of the political system through a comprehensive institutional overhaul. Taken together, these changes will create a flexible government structure capable of quickly responding to modern challenges. He also emphasized that the implementation of legislative amendments directly depends on the engagement of young people, their knowledge, and their willingness to take responsibility for the country's future."At the initiative of President Kassym-Jomart Kemelevich Tokayev, a draft new Constitution was developed and adopted by citizens in a nationwide referendum on March 15. The Constitution will officially come into force on July 1. This truly People's Constitution has opened a new stage in the construction of a Just Kazakhstan, where Independence, Statehood, and the rights and interests of citizens are the highest values. Essentially, all the current large-scale changes and the updated institutional environment are being created for the benefit of future generations. The new Constitution opens up great opportunities for young people, but also imposes grave responsibilities. The younger generation must deeply understand the historical significance of the reform and take an active part in its implementation," the Speaker of the House of Parliament said, addressing the meeting participants.Emphasizing the importance of youth participation in the construction of a Just Kazakhstan, Maulen Ashimbayev also spoke about the support measures being taken by the state and emphasized the values ​​that define the new image of the nation. The guideline on this path, he said, is the concept of the country's President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, "Adal Azamat," which, based on Abai's teachings, "Tolyk Adam," defines hard work, integrity, professionalism, continuous learning, and patriotism as the most important values ​​for every person.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/atyrau/press/news/details/1236369?lang=ru

В Уйгурском районе Алматинской области 10 тысяч гектаров пастбищных земель преобразуют в посевные площади. На территориях, где ранее практически ничего не росло, фермеры внедряют цифровые технологии и рассчитывают получать высокие урожаи. В частности, в сельском хозяйстве активно применяются современные технологии, системы капельного и дождевального орошения, а также автоматизированные устройства управления. Это позволяет эффективно использовать водные ресурсы и увеличивать объемы производства. Аким Алматинской области Марат Султангазиев посетил сельхозугодья и ознакомился с деятельностью хозяйств района, сообщает пресс-служба акима области.Одним из предприятий, работающих в этом направлении, является компания «Harvest Agro». Проект, реализуемый в селе Калжат Уйгурского района, основан на внедрении цифровых технологий в агропромышленный комплекс. В него входят автоматизированная система орошения, оборудование для цифрового анализа почвы, датчики влажности, мониторинг состояния посевных площадей и элементы управления с использованием искусственного интеллекта. Основная цель проекта - формирование эффективной и устойчивой модели современного сельского хозяйства за счет рационального использования водных ресурсов.Полная реализация проекта запланирована на 2026 - 2029 годы. Общая стоимость составляет 18,2 млрд тенге. После запуска предприятия будет создано 60 новых рабочих мест. Общая площадь земель составляет 4 500 гектаров. Планируется ежегодно выращивать 20 тысяч тонн кукурузы и 4 500 тонн сафлора. Готовую продукцию намерены экспортировать в страны Центральной Азии, а также на рынки Китая и Ирана.Одним из ключевых направлений проекта является развитие современных систем орошения за счет использования подземных вод. Для этого ведутся работы по бурению скважин и созданию ирригационной инфраструктуры. Планируется пробурить 120 скважин и установить 120 дождевальных установок «Center Pivot». Глубина скважин достигает 300 метров, а необходимый объем подачи воды для каждой установки составляет 125 -150 кубометров в час.На первом этапе будет освоено 1 200 гектаров земли под выращивание сафлора. В настоящее время пробурено 30 скважин и ведется подготовка к установке 30 дождевальных систем.Еще одним крупным предприятием, развивающим агропромышленный сектор Уйгурского района, является ТОО «Assem Kaljat». Компания реализует несколько стратегических проектов в сфере переработки сельхозпродукции, внедрения водосберегающих технологий и развития производственной инфраструктуры. Предприятие преобразовало 2 500 гектаров пастбищ в орошаемые земли и засеяло 12 сортов кукурузы. Пробурено 59 скважин глубиной 180  - 200 метров и установлено 59 трансформаторов. Кроме того, проложено более 40 километров линий электропередачи и свыше 300 километров магистральных труб капельного орошения различного диаметра.В хозяйстве используются тракторы и комбайны марок Claas и Case, сеялки, дроны-распылители, навесные и прицепные агрегаты, а также погрузчики, бульдозеры и экскаваторы. Продукция поставляется не только на внутренний рынок, но и экспортируется в Узбекистан, Иран и Китай. Основными потребителями станут предприятия по производству крахмала, комбикормовые заводы, птицефабрики и фармацевтические компании.В дальнейшем планируется строительство трех заводов: по первичной переработке и хранению кукурузы, производству поливинилхлоридных труб и выпуску систем капельного орошения. Общий объем инвестиций составит 23 млн долларов.Марат Султангазиев посетил оба предприятия и поздравил их с началом реализации значимых проектов. По его словам, запуск современного агроиндустриального комплекса придаст новый импульс развитию экономики региона и укрепит его инвестиционный потенциал.«Обе компании ориентированы не только на выращивание сельхозкультур, но и на их дальнейшую переработку. “Assem Kaljat” уже в этом году начнет строительство своего первого завода. В свою очередь, “Harvest Agro” готов расширять производство в зависимости от объемов продукции. Будет обеспечен полный цикл - от производства гибридных семян до хранения и переработки готовой продукции. При этом приоритет отдается вовлечению неиспользуемых земель в сельскохозяйственный оборот и превращению их в плодородные посевные площади. Сегодня активная работа по преобразованию пастбищ в орошаемые земли ведется в Жамбылском, Илийском и Уйгурском районах.Для Уйгурского района кукуруза имеет стратегическое значение. В условиях орошения средняя урожайность кукурузы достигает 7 - 8 тонн с гектара, а в передовых хозяйствах возможно получать до 14 -16 тонн. Производимое зерно востребовано на внутреннем рынке для животноводства, комбикормового производства и пищевой промышленности», - отметил аким области.Реализация данных проектов придаст новый импульс развитию агропромышленного комплекса региона и позволит вывести отрасль на новый уровень. Это будет способствовать эффективному использованию земельных и водных ресурсов, созданию новых рабочих мест и совершенствованию современной ирригационной инфраструктуры.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/almobl/press/news/details/1225175?lang=ru
