Today, the Akim of Kostanay region Kumar Aksakalov took part in the opening of the milling complex of TOO "Aruana-2010". The new facility became an important step in the development of the food industry of the region.
3 billion tenge were invested in the construction of the milling complex. Its capacity is 180 thousand tons of flour per year. The complex provided the region with 100 new jobs, which is especially important for strengthening social stability.
Kumar Aksakalov noted that the opening of the new enterprise is the implementation of the task set by the Head of State to increase the volume of processing of agricultural products.
Strategy for the development of the processing industry
In the coming years, the region plans to increase the share of processing of agricultural products from 60% to 70%. To achieve this goal, projects are being implemented using modern technologies:
•Plant for the production of cereals from legumes TOO "KAIZEN" (investments - 9 billion tenge, capacity - 170 thousand tons per year, 70 jobs).
•In 2026, a similar plant of AC Agro LLP will start operating (24 billion tenge, capacity - 100 thousand tons per year, 50 jobs).
•By 2027, Qostanai Grain Industry LLP plans to launch a project for deep processing of 415 thousand tons of grain per year, which will allow producing such popular products as gluten, starch, amino acids and bioethanol.
Prospects for agricultural producers
“These projects will allow diversifying crop areas, increasing the profitability of farms, providing for the domestic market and significantly increasing export volumes,” Kumar Aksakalov emphasized.
In parallel, livestock processing enterprises are developing in the region. For example, the plant of MILH LLP for the production of cheese products (investments - 7.2 billion tenge, capacity - 10 thousand tons per year, 35 jobs).
The introduction of new investment projects by 2027 will provide the regional budget with an additional 3 billion tenge and create over 2 thousand jobs, with a 70% increase in wages.
A significant step for the regional economy
The opening of the mill complex of TOO "Aruana-2010" strengthens the regional economy, ensuring sustainable growth of the processing industry. Kumar Aksakalov expressed confidence that the new facility will become an example of successful interaction between the state and business.
"I am confident that the complex will make a significant contribution to the development of the region," the regional akim noted.
