The 70th anniversary of the city of Arkalyk was celebrated at a high level. One of the significant events within the framework of the jubilee celebrations was the opening of the railway station after reconstruction.On the instructions of the Head of State, a large-scale modernization of 125 railway stations is being carried out in the country. In the Kostanay region, six railway stations are being reconstructed — in Kostanay, Arkalyk, Tobyl, Zhelezorudny, Amankaragay, and Kushmurun. The railway stations of Amankaragay, Kushmurun, and Rudny have already been opened earlier.«Today we have witnessed a very important and joyful event for the city of Arkalyk. On the day of the city's 70th anniversary, the renovated, modern railway station has opened its doors. This is not just an infrastructure project; it is a vivid testament to the development of Arkalyk and the implementation of the Head of State's policy on regional development!» — noted Akim of Kostanay region Kumar Aksakalov in his congratulatory speech.1.3 billion tenge was allocated for the renovation of the station. The building was constructed in 1972, with the last renovation carried out in 2015. This year, the architectural appearance of the building has been completely updated, and the engineering networks have been repaired. The waiting hall, ticket offices, and sanitary rooms are equipped in accordance with modern requirements. The station square has also been landscaped.The area of the railway station has increased from 1,772 to 2,400 square meters.Eight trains pass through the station, including four suburban trains in the directions of Astana, Kostanay, and Shubarkol.«For the 70th anniversary of our city, the passenger train „Nurly Zhol – Arkalyk“, consisting of new carriages and running every other day, has been launched. This is of great importance. The new route has significantly improved the transport accessibility of the region. This project was implemented primarily to provide the population with high-quality, comfortable, and safe services,» — noted Kumar Aksakalov.The station is capable of serving up to 428 passengers per day. A barrier-free environment has been created for people with disabilities, elderly citizens, and passengers with children.The renovated station will contribute to an increase in passenger traffic and business activity. In particular, the transport and logistics potential of the region is increasing. The Head of the region emphasized that without the development of transport links, it is impossible to ensure the growth of the country's economy.In order to give a new impetus to the economy of the Arkalyk region, two important highways are being renovated. The first is the «Zhezkazgan – Arkalyk» highway. The distance from Arkalyk to Zhezkazgan is 309 kilometers. On the section passing through the territory of the Kostanay region, 71 kilometers of the road have been repaired. This year, repair work on another 8 kilometers is nearing completion. Repair work on the road section in the territory of the Ulytau region will also be completed this year. The repair of the highway from Arkalyk to Esil in the territory of the Kostanay region has been fully completed. Thanks to this, the route will be shortened by 500 kilometers.The second is the new «Center – West» highway, the construction of which is being carried out on the instructions of the Head of State. It will pass through Arkalyk and Torgay.«In the near future, we will open the renovated airport. This project is of great importance both for the region and for local residents. As a result, Arkalyk will become an important transport and logistics hub connecting the north, center, west, and south of the country. The development of transport logistics will give a new impetus to the economy of Arkalyk, as well as boost entrepreneurship and domestic tourism,» — emphasized the Akim of the region. Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kostanay/press/news/details/1271360?lang=ru

В этом году садоводы Алматинской области планируют собрать около 100 тысяч тонн яблок. 80% урожая будет направлено на внутренний рынок, остальные 20% - на экспорт. Яблоки из Алматинского региона в основном экспортируются в Таджикистан, Кыргызстан, Россию и Беларусь. Кроме того, 10% собранного урожая планируется использовать для производства соков, пюре, варенья и другой переработанной продукции.Сегодня общая площадь яблоневых садов в области составляет 9,9 тысячи гектаров. Из них 2,2 тысячи гектаров занимают интенсивные сады. По объемам выращивания яблок лидирует Еңбекшіқазақский район. Здесь ежегодно собирают 34,1 тысячи тонн продукции. Далее следуют Уйгурский, Талгарский, Карасайский и Жамбылский районы.В регионе выращивают 21 сорт яблок. Среди них - Алматинский апорт, Фуджи, Гала, Голден Делишес, Синап, Кандиль, Айдаред и другие распространенные сорта. Особым спросом на международном рынке пользуется сорт Гала.За последние три с половиной года в Алматинской области собрано более 282 тысяч тонн яблок, из которых 1,5 тысячи тонн экспортировано на зарубежные рынки. Экспортная выручка составила около 1 млн 549 тысяч долларов США. В настоящее время ведется работа по расширению экспорта на рынки стран Европы, Китая, Центральной Азии и Ближнего Востока. При этом планируется поставлять за рубеж не только свежие яблоки, но и переработанную продукцию - соки, сушеные яблоки, пастилу и другие изделия.Для повышения урожайности высаживаются продуктивные саженцы, внедряются системы капельного орошения и цифровые технологии, расширяются площади интенсивных садов.Особое внимание в Алматинской области уделяется развитию Алматинского апорта как бренда международного уровня. В рамках проекта по восстановлению апортовых садов увеличивается производство качественного посадочного материала и закладываются новые сады. Сегодня общая площадь апортовых садов в области составляет около 2,3 тысячи гектаров. Ежегодно здесь собирают 6,6 тысячи тонн апортовых яблок, средняя урожайность составляет 88,5 центнера с гектара.Параллельно реализуются новые проекты в сфере хранения и переработки плодово-овощной продукции. Один из них - строительство завода «QAZAQ Global Food JV», мощность которого составит 80 тысяч тонн плодоовощной продукции в год. После запуска предприятия объем переработки увеличится, а возможности для длительного хранения яблок расширятся. Это позволит реализовывать продукцию на рынке и в межсезонье, а также увеличивать экспортные поставки.В регионе также работают небольшие крестьянские хозяйства, занимающиеся выращиванием яблок. Одно из них - сад «Хишманов», расположенный в селе Әймен Еңбекшіқазақского района. Общая площадь сада составляет 14 гектаров. На 4 гектарах выращиваются саженцы. На остальных площадях разбит сад и проводятся различные эксперименты.Крестьянское хозяйство также обеспечивает работой жителей села Әймен и близлежащих населенных пунктов. Здесь на постоянной основе трудятся 15 человек, а в период сбора урожая и посадки саженцев численность работников увеличивается до 30–45 человек. В прошлом году было получено 12 тонн продукции. В этом году планируется увеличить объем до 24 - 28 тонн.При сборе яблок отходов практически не остается: вся продукция проходит специальную сортировку и используется. Практически весь урожай реализуется на территории Казахстана.«Мы работаем над размножением сортов казахстанской селекции - Анель, Айнур, Дамира, Восход и Раши, которые ранее находились на грани исчезновения». Эти сорта дают хороший урожай и отличаются прекрасным вкусом. У нас есть небольшой питомник, где в основном выращиваем саженцы для собственного сада. Изучаем, какие сорта лучше подходят для нашего региона, и только после этого начинаем выращивать их в саду», - говорит руководитель крестьянского хозяйства Руслан Хишманов.В настоящее время садоводы, которые обеспечили надлежащий уход за яблоневыми садами, уже приступили к первому сбору урожая. В области системно проводится работа по повышению урожайности яблок, сохранению и увеличению количества отечественных сортов.Расширяются площади новых садов, внедряются современные системы орошения и цифровые технологии. Одновременно приоритетное внимание уделяется развитию инфраструктуры хранения и переработки продукции, что позволит укрепить экспортный потенциал местных яблок.В перспективе эта работа позволит вывести яблочное производство области на новый уровень и увеличить объем качественной отечественной продукции.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/almobl/press/news/details/1271177?lang=ru

В течение ближайших пяти лет на Капшагайском водохранилище будет проходить международный чемпионат «Формула-1 H2O». При этом проект не ограничивается лишь проведением соревнований. В регионе планируется строительство завода по производству спортивных катеров, а также открытие академии по подготовке пилотов водной техники. Кроме того, будет сформирована национальная сборная Казахстана, которая будет представлять страну на мировых гонках «Формула-1 H2O» на воде, сообщает пресс-служба акима Алматинской области.Аким области Марат Султангазиев вновь встретился с организаторами чемпионата F1H2O, чтобы обсудить вопросы проведения международного турнира на высоком организационном уровне.— Проведение международных соревнований такого уровня, как «Формула-1 H2O», будет способствовать дальнейшему укреплению авторитета нашей страны на мировой арене. Со стороны акимата области этой инициативе будет оказана всесторонняя поддержка. Совместно с Министерством туризма и спорта Республики Казахстан мы приложим все усилия, чтобы реализовать этот турнир как важный национальный проект, — отметил глава региона.В свою очередь представитель компании H2O Racing Раймондо ди Сан Джермано подчеркнул, что Казахстан является наиболее подходящей страной для проведения этих соревнований.— Мы хотим, чтобы международный чемпионат получил широкое развитие в Центральной Азии. Именно поэтому приняли решение проводить крупнейшие в мире гонки на воде в Конаеве — городе, который широко известен своим потенциалом в сфере водного туризма. Во время соревнований на Иссык-Куле мы официально объявили, что чемпионат мира 2027 года пройдет в Казахстане. В дальнейшем мы откроем академию по подготовке пилотов и будем обучать специалистов по управлению спортивными судами. Также намерены развивать федерацию этого вида спорта как в Казахстане, так и во всей Центральной Азии. Все эти проекты будут реализованы в городе Конаев. Кроме того, мы планируем открыть в Казахстане завод по производству спортивных катеров. Во время пребывания на Иссык-Куле мы увидели, что у Кыргызстана нет собственной национальной команды. Уверен, что в течение ближайших 12 месяцев Казахстан сможет сформировать полноценную национальную сборную, — заявил Раймондо ди Сан Джермано.Отметим, что в этом году этап «Формулы-1 H2O» прошел на побережье озера Иссык-Куль в Кыргызстане. За зрелищными гонками лично наблюдали президенты шести государств. Ожидается, что соревнования, которые в следующем году состоятся на Капшагайском водохранилище, будут транслироваться в прямом эфире почти для одного миллиарда зрителей по всему миру. Это, безусловно, станет мощным импульсом для развития туристического потенциала Казахстана и повысит интерес иностранных гостей к стране.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/almobl/press/news/details/1268799?lang=ru
