Preparation for spring field work 04.03.2026
Today, at a meeting of the regional akimat chaired by the head of the region, Kumar Aksakalov, the issue of preparation for spring field work was considered. The head of the Department of Agriculture and Land Relations of the Kostanay Region Akimat, Ibrahim Bekmukhamedov, delivered a report. Additional information on their respective areas was also provided by the director of the Kostanay Region branch of RSE "Kazhydromet" Adel Akhmetov, the akim of the Karabalyk district Ruslan Khalykov, the akim of the Karasu district Kairat Ospanov, the director of LLP "Agro PARASAT" Azamat Zholaushybayev, and the director of LLP "Baltaly Ltd" Aslan Shamukhan.The President of the country noted that the potential of agriculture is not fully realized and emphasized the need to bring the industry to a new level. The state is creating all conditions for the high-quality conduct of spring field work. Significant funds have been allocated for the third consecutive year. In particular, nationwide, the volume of financing for the sowing campaign and harvest, as in the previous year, amounts to 1 trillion tenge, of which 300 billion tenge are allocated for the leasing of agricultural machinery.Furthermore, the allocation of 402 thousand tons of subsidized fuel for farmers is planned."Our main task today is to carry out spring field work in a timely and high-quality manner," emphasized the head of the region.It should be noted that starting from October 1, 2025, the acceptance of applications for financing agribusiness entities for the 2026 sowing campaign has begun. To date, more than 260 farms have already been financed with 19.2 billion tenge at 5% per annum. And if you take it for six months – then it's 2.5%.Moreover, financing for the forward purchase for 2026 through JSC "NC "Prodcorporation" for the region has been increased by 2.8 times. If it was 5.4 billion tenge in 2025, this year it is 15 billion.Currently, the work on financing spring field work is in an active phase.As noted by the regional akim, over 3 years, the structure of the region's sown areas has changed significantly. The areas under grain legumes have expanded by 84.4%, and under oilseeds by 32.1%. This indicates that the region is moving towards a diversified farming model."It is necessary to provide the population with the main types of socially significant food products through local production. This year, it is planned to increase the potato planting area to 7.5 thousand hectares, and buckwheat to 17.1 thousand hectares. These indicators must be achieved," noted Kumar Aksakalov.In the region, thanks to the preferential leasing program, 1.3 thousand units of machinery and equipment worth 57 billion tenge were purchased in 2025. Over three years, the agricultural machinery fleet has been replenished by almost 4 thousand units. Currently, there are about 28 thousand units of agricultural machinery in the region. Of these, 7% is new/upgraded machinery. This year, out of the 300 billion tenge allocated for leasing, 45 billion has been allocated to our region.In 2026, the plan for mineral fertilizer application for the region is 433.7 thousand tons. More than 11 billion tenge is allocated for subsidization. Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kostanay/press/news/details/1173722?lang=kk
