In the future, the company plans to open a year-round commercial camp for children. Such work needs to be carried out in all cities and districts," noted the regional akim.All summer recreation facilities must comply with sanitary and fire safety requirements. The programs of out-of-town and school-based camps should include sports, creative, and developmental activities, be meaningful and diverse."We have tested, within the framework of forums and various events, industrial tours to machine-building plants in the city of Kostanay. Currently, the issue of transferring these tours to tour operators is being considered. These tours must be included in the summer vacation plans. In the future, such events will help children with career guidance and choosing a profession. Children's summer recreation should be not only interesting but also safe," noted the head of the region.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kostanay/press/news/details/1228717?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
