This year, the volume of financing for the agricultural sector has been increased to 700 billion tenge. The amount spent on leasing has been increased to 200 billion tenge. More than 400 thousand tons of diesel fuel were also allocated at a discount.Olzhas Bektenov emphasized that all these measures are aimed at the successful conduct of the sowing campaign.“The state has taken all the necessary measures to ensure the successful conduct of the sowing campaign. We need to carry out the work effectively and in an organized manner. The Ministry of Agriculture should direct the concessional loans to support highly efficient and responsible farmers,” the Prime Minister emphasized. At the same time, he noted that the proper use of the allocated funds should be under constant control of the akimats. In addition, according to him, it is important to provide farmers with high-quality and tested seed stocks. For this, first of all, it is necessary to encourage domestic producers. It is also necessary to strictly observe agrotechnology in spring field work and use fertilizers and plant protection products in a timely manner. In Kazakhstan, the fertilizer application plan is only 59% of the scientifically based norm, and the technical readiness of agricultural machinery is 75%. Olzhas Bektenov noted that it is necessary to bring this indicator to 100% before the start of mass sowing.During the meeting, the Prime Minister gave a number of instructions to the ministries and akimats:The Ministry of Agriculture, together with the Baiterek holding, should take measures to optimize and simplify the procedures for granting loans and subsidies in order to provide effective state support to farmers.The Ministries of Energy, Agriculture and regional akimats should monitor the supply of the appropriate volume of discounted fuel.
