Because agriculture is the basis of the regional economy, – said the head of the region.It should be noted that more than 90 percent of rice and table salt production in the republic falls to the share of the Kyzylorda region. In recent years, livestock and poultry farming, as well as milk production, have been intensively developing, and the demand for compound feed has been steadily growing.Today, a large-scale project is being implemented with the participation of the company «Harvest Agro». This will allow producing 150 thousand tons of corn and 40 thousand tons of soybeans per year and will contribute to reducing the cost of compound feed production.More than 1.3 million head of livestock are registered in the region. And considering the potential of the neighboring Turkestan, Aktobe, and Ulytau regions, it exceeds 12 million.The geographically advantageous location of the region, developed transport and logistics infrastructure, the presence of a special economic zone and six industrial zones with established engineering infrastructure allow for the effective implementation of investment projects.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kyzylorda/press/news/details/1258359?lang=ru

The average area of forest fires in the region decreased by 2.5 times 16.07.2026
A meeting of the regional akimat on the issue of fire danger in forest areas was held under the chairmanship of Kostanay Region Akim Kumar Aksakalov.The Head of State has identified the expansion of forest areas and their protection as one of the national priorities.The staffing of the forest guard has been strengthened in the region. While three years ago 825 people worked in forestry institutions, today their number has increased to 1,242 people.«Over the past three years, about 8 billion tenge has been allocated to strengthen the material and technical base of forestry institutions. With these funds, 51 fire trucks, 86 tractors, 36 forest fire complexes, and 78 patrol units of equipment were purchased. As a result, the level of equipment provision for forestry institutions has reached 90%. At the same time, they are 100% provided with fire trucks», – noted the regional akim.In 2025, a 35-meter-high fire observation tower was built in the Auliekol district for the first time in the last 30 years. It is planned to install another 20 towers over the next three years. By the end of 2028, the region's forest areas will be fully equipped with surveillance systems.Today, monitoring of forest territories is carried out using 40 video surveillance cameras, which cover 70% of the forested area. For comparison, only 8 cameras were operational in 2022.Thanks to the measures taken, the average area of a single forest fire has decreased by 2.5 times – from 11.4 hectares to 4.6 hectares in 2025. In the current year, this indicator stands at 1.5 hectares.The reduction in the area of forest fires has also made it possible to significantly decrease the average material damage from a single fire.
