A large batch of illegal chicken eggs was discovered and destroyed at a Shymkent market 30.06.2026
In Shymkent, the illegal sale of a large batch of chicken eggs of Russian origin has been suppressed. The violation was identified during the joint work of employees from the Veterinary Control and Supervision Committee, representatives of the Department of Trade and Consumer Rights Protection of Shymkent city, and the Union of Poultry Farmers of Kazakhstan.During control and supervision activities at the "Zhibek Zholy" market, specialists discovered eggs for sale without mandatory labeling and veterinary accompanying documents. The total volume of seized products amounted to 11,850 units.Laboratory test results established that the products do not meet safety requirements and the current legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The entire batch was destroyed in accordance with established procedures in the presence of a commission. Administrative offense cases have been initiated against the guilty persons, and the inspection materials have been sent to the authorized bodies for further procedural decisions.The Union of Poultry Farmers of Kazakhstan continues joint work with state bodies to identify and suppress cases of illegal trafficking of egg products. All recorded violations are sent to the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Trade and Integration, the State Revenue Committee, and the Sanitary and Epidemiological Control Committee.Despite the current restrictions, cases of selling unlabeled eggs of Russian origin are still being identified in some regions of the country. In this regard, state bodies continue systematic inspections of markets and trade facilities across the country to protect consumers and ensure market transparency.It is recalled that since April 17, 2026, Order No. 146 of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan on the temporary ban on the import of food chicken eggs has come into force. The measure is aimed at suppressing gray imports, preventing dumping, and maintaining a stable price situation in the domestic market during the period of seasonal demand growth.The practice of temporarily restricting egg imports has been applied in Kazakhstan for several consecutive years. Such measures are introduced during periods when domestic poultry farms fully meet the needs of the internal market. This helps protect Kazakh producers from dumping imports, create fair competitive conditions for the sale of domestic products, and maintain stable prices for consumers.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mti/press/news/details/1235268?lang=ru
The oil and fat industry brought Kazakhstan almost $1 billion in export revenue 30.06.2026
On June 5, the Fifth Anniversary International Conference "FOC 2026: Fats and Oils Conference" is being held in Astana. Over five years, it has become one of the key platforms for discussing the future of the Eurasian fats and oils industry. This year, the forum brought together over 330 delegates from 18 countries worldwide, heads of more than 50 Kazakh oilseed processing plants, representatives of government agencies, international organizations, financial institutions, agro-holdings, logistics companies, and the world's largest industry players.The conference was organized by the National Association of Oilseed Processors with the support of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Ministry of Trade and Integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan, and JSC "QazTrade Center for Trade Policy Development". Among the participants were representatives of the International Trade Centre, UN FAO, EBRD, Wilmar, Bunge, Kourosh Food Industry, Huatai, Chinese Cereals and Oils Association, China Vegetable Oil Industry Association, and other international structures and companies.Opening the conference, Vice Minister of Trade and Integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan Aset Nusupov emphasized that such broad international representation is not accidental, as today the fats and oils industry is at the center of the global food agenda.According to him, trips to the country's agricultural regions and meetings with agricultural producers confirm the large-scale changes taking place in the domestic agro-industrial complex. Kazakhstan is consistently transitioning from raw material exports to the production of high value-added products, the development of deep processing, and the exploration of new export markets.The results of this transformation are already noticeable at the international level. Last year, Kazakhstan entered the ranks of the world's largest exporters of sunflower oil, providing about 3.6% of global exports of this product and securing a place among the leading suppliers on the global market. In the Chinese market, the republic took second place among sunflower oil exporters, strengthening trade and economic cooperation between the two countries. Exports of fats and oils products and oilseeds increased by 70% over the year, becoming one of the most striking examples of successful economic diversification and the development of non-commodity exports.Today, the fats and oils sector is one of the main drivers of growth for the domestic processing industry. In 2025, the production volume of fats and oils products exceeded 1.57 million tons for the first time, and export revenue reached a record $963 million USD. For comparison: back in 2021, this figure was $240 million. Thus, in just four years, the industry's export revenue has increased more than fourfold.Sunflower oil production shows particularly impressive dynamics. Over the past four years, its output has grown 2.3 times and exceeded 752 thousand tons. Simultaneously, Kazakhstan has significantly reduced its dependence on imports: if from 2015 to 2021 the share of imported sunflower oil on the domestic market averaged 39%, today it does not exceed 18%.The fats and oils industry already generates more than a quarter of all foreign exchange earnings from the country's exports of processed agricultural products. In 2025, its contribution reached 27%, making the sector one of the key elements of Kazakhstan's economic resilience.The growth in processing stimulates the development of the entire agro-industrial complex. High demand for oilseeds from domestic enterprises contributes to the expansion of cultivated areas, increased investment in agriculture, and modernization of production capacities. In parallel, the production of deep-processing products is developing, which has a positive impact on related industries - livestock farming, poultry farming, compound feed, and the food industry.Conference participants paid special attention to the issue of food security and price stability. Despite the fact that, according to FAO, from May 2023 to the end of 2025, the global vegetable oil price index increased by 39%, and the cost of sunflower oil on European exchanges rose by 47%, in Kazakhstan, thanks to the joint work of the state and business, it was possible to maintain stable domestic prices. Under the memorandum between the National Association of Oilseed Processors, the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Ministry of Trade and Integration, the wholesale price of sunflower oil for the domestic market has not exceeded 730 tenge per liter for over three years. In February 2026, the price stabilization mechanism was extended until the end of the current year.Today, Kazakh fats and oils products are supplied to more than 20 countries worldwide. The main sales markets are China, Central Asian countries, and the European Union. In 2025, Kazakhstan ranked sixth in the world in sunflower oil exports and second in the Chinese market. Moreover, over the past two years, the republic has become the largest supplier of vegetable oils to Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, providing over 90% of the import of this product in these countries. Kazakhstan also fully meets Central Asia's needs for sunflower meal and is among the top three largest suppliers of this product to the European Union.According to Aset Nusupov, such results have been made possible thanks to consistent state policy and close interaction with business. Last year, together with industry associations, international partners, and JSC "QazTrade", a Roadmap for the Development of Fats and Oils Exports until 2028 was developed. Its implementation will allow the industry's foreign exchange earnings to increase by another 60% in just two years - to over $1.5 billion USD, and for Kazakhstan to secure a place among the world's four largest sunflower oil exporters with the prospect of further entering the global top three.An important part of this strategy is the development of transport and logistics infrastructure. Kazakhstan is consistently expanding the capabilities of the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route, improving railway infrastructure, and modernizing port capacities. In 2026, vegetable oil was transshipped directly onto a sea vessel for the first time at the port of Aktau. Simultaneously, with the support of KTZ, trial shipments of granulated sunflower meal to China via the Dostyk – Alashankou border crossing began. Another important achievement was the country's first container shipment of sunflower oil in flexitanks from the East Kazakhstan region to China's Jiangsu province. The 4,700-kilometer route was completed in just 12 days, confirming the high potential of modern logistics solutions.The geography of trade opportunities for domestic producers is also expanding. Today, free trade agreements with Vietnam, Serbia, and Iran are in effect for Kazakh businesses. Last year, new agreements were signed with the United Arab Emirates, Mongolia, and Indonesia. Furthermore, negotiations on the creation of a free trade zone with India are ongoing, opening up additional prospects for Kazakh exporters in one of the world's largest markets.Separately, the Vice Minister highlighted the high indicators of oilseed exports. Just from September to April of the current season, flax exports amounted to about one million tons worth almost $500 million. The main buyers were China and European Union countries. Rapeseed exports for the same period exceeded 200 thousand tons, with key destinations including China, Poland, Latvia, and other European states.The National Product Catalog - a digital product identification system - is becoming an important tool for increasing trade transparency. Using sunflower oil as an example, it eliminates discrepancies in product names and ensures a unified approach to its classification both in the domestic market and in export operations. According to estimates by international analytical agencies, the global vegetable oil market will maintain steady growth in the coming years. Global consumption already exceeds 220 million tons annually and continues to increase. This creates additional opportunities for further strengthening Kazakhstan's position on the global food market.Conference participants note that the domestic fats and oils industry has become a clear example of how consistent development of processing, the introduction of modern technologies, and a focus on exporting high value-added products can ensure sustainable economic growth, expansion of supply geography, and strengthening of the country's food security.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mti/press/news/details/1235282?lang=ru

Students nurtured by Almasbek Almatov presented to the entire country schools based on the maqam-saz features of our region.It is known that the Head of State, at the final meeting of the National Kurultai in Kyzylorda, noted: "In general, it is not for nothing that they say 'Syr eli – zhyr eli'. The zhyrau-zhyrsy and kuy art, continuing since the time of Korkyt Ata, has spread widely in this region. The entire country knows the zhyrsy schools founded by such outstanding masters as Zhiyenbay, Nurtygan, Nartay."The scientist-mentor also worked fruitfully on popularizing traditional Kazakh art in the world community. He performed concerts in the USA, France, Italy, Switzerland, Great Britain, Egypt, Mongolia, and other countries, contributing to the international recognition of our national culture.Today, professional zhyrsy-zhyrau are being trained at the Kurmangazy Kazakh National Conservatory, the Kazakh National University of Arts, and the Korkyt Ata Kyzylorda University. They are winners of international and republican competitions.It is worth noting that last year, a creative evening "Zhyr Keruen" dedicated to the 70th anniversary of Almasbek Almatov was held at the "Arts Center". At the evening, Nurlybek Mashbekovich, on behalf of the residents of Kyzylorda, expressed respect to the zhyrau and presented the Honorary Certificate of the Kyzylorda Region and car keys.The Ankara University of Music and Fine Arts has appointed a monthly scholarship of 300,000 tenge to Malika Aldamzharova, a doctoral student in the "Traditional Art" specialty, and to Kunsulu Turikpen and Akerke Dabylyova, doctoral students of the "Traditional Musical Art: Traditional Zhyr" educational program at the K.

Arman Shakkaliev discussed with wholesalers measures to reduce the number of intermediaries in the food market 30.06.2026
On June 6, the Minister of Trade and Integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Arman Shakkaliyev, conducted a working tour of Astana's largest trading platforms, visiting the wholesale markets "Alash" and "Sharyn", vegetable warehouses, and a weekend fair at the "Keruen Zholy" market.During the working trip, the minister met with major wholesale suppliers, entrepreneurs, and market administrations. Participants discussed issues of trade infrastructure development, customs procedures, phytosanitary control, and ensuring uninterrupted supply of food products. The main topic of the meeting was the implementation of the Prime Minister's instructions to bring order to the trade sector and reduce unproductive intermediaries.The Government is currently carrying out systematic work to increase the transparency of supply chains and eliminate intermediary schemes that do not create added value. For this work, 63 of the country's largest markets, which have a significant impact on price formation in the regions, have been identified. "Every tenge of an unjustified markup directly affects citizens' family budgets. Therefore, bringing order to supply chains is not only an economic but also a social task. Markets remain a crucial element of the country's food security, as it is here that a significant part of consumer demand and price benchmarks are formed," noted Arman Shakkaliyev.According to the minister, the price situation in the capital currently remains stable. At the same time, during the summer period, the ministry will continue its work to ensure further reduction of inflationary pressure and prevent unjustified price increases for socially significant food products."We intend to open several fairgrounds in the city center, where products from our warehouses will be sold directly to the population. This will shorten the path of goods from the wholesaler to the consumer and minimize intermediary markups. Currently, together with the city administration, we are working on locations for placing such trading points," said the director of the "Alash" wholesale market, Nurland Zhumekov.Special attention is paid to compliance with legal requirements regarding trade markups on socially significant food products. Since the beginning of the year, as a result of control measures, 2,463 administrative rulings have been issued, totaling 76.8 million tenge. Of these, 1,628 rulings are related to exceeding the maximum permissible trade markup. The amount of fines for these violations exceeded 52 million tenge.The minister emphasized that the state is interested in developing fair competition and creating equal conditions for all market participants."Our task is not to create additional barriers for business or to increase administrative pressure. The state supports honest entrepreneurs and is interested in forming transparent rules of the game. However, such support is only possible under the condition of compliance with the law. If individual market administrations or trade entities continue to use non-transparent schemes, hide real supply chains, allow unjustified trade markups, or ignore legal requirements, the state will consistently apply the full range of response measures provided for by law," stated the minister.Arman Shakkaliyev also reminded that the principle of "Law and Order," outlined by the Head of State, must be strictly observed in all spheres of the economy, including trade. Uniform rules and equal responsibility for all market participants are a necessary condition for forming a fair competitive environment and ensuring food affordability for the population.

In this regard, I instruct the development of a Roadmap for the diversification of sown areas until 2028, — noted Murat Nalkhozhaevich.This year in the region, agricultural crops have been placed on an area of 185.8 thousand hectares, including rice sown on 70 thousand hectares and provided with irrigation. Furthermore, corn has been sown on 10 thousand hectares, and other grain crops on 9.7 thousand hectares.To ensure efficient use of water resources, the area of land where moisture-saving technologies are applied has reached 14.2 thousand hectares. To reduce water losses, laser leveling has been carried out on 65 thousand hectares of rice checks.Sustainable growth is also observed in the livestock sector. Today, livestock farming accounts for over 30 percent of the total volume of the region's agro-industrial complex products.Since the beginning of the year, 11.7 thousand tons of meat and 13.4 thousand tons of milk have been produced in the region. To further increase production volumes, the implementation of two investment projects is planned. In particular, a poultry farm with a capacity of 3,500 tons of meat per year and a dairy farm will be commissioned.Overall, the number of pedigree cattle in the region has reached 18.1 thousand head, pedigree sheep — 252.7 thousand head, horses — 3.3 thousand head, and camels — 700 head.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kyzylorda/press/news/details/1236050?lang=ru
