The issue of digitizing the agro-industrial complex was considered at a government meeting chaired by Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov. Minister of Agriculture Aidarbek Saparov and Vice Minister of Digital Development, Innovations and Aerospace Industry Dmitry Mun reported on the ongoing work.
Currently, the Ministry of Agriculture has 4 information systems on its balance sheet. These are the Identification of Agricultural Animals (IAA); Unified Automated System for Management of AIC Industries "E-Agriculture" (UAIS); Unified State Information System for Subsidies (USIS); Information system for lending to the population "Aul Amanaty". An information system for monitoring crop production is being developed.
93 types of state services are provided in the agro-industrial complex, 98% of which are in electronic mode. In 2024, more than 2.6 million electronic services were used. 11 groups of business processes were reengineered, 7 of which were for land resources, the rest for crop production.
As a result, the number of documents required for reporting was reduced by 83%. The number of steps for farmers was reduced by 85%, and the service time was reduced by 97%.
Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov noted that the Head of State set the task of digitizing the agricultural sector at the first forum of agricultural workers. In this regard, the Government gives special priority to introducing elements of "smart" technology into all branches of agriculture. Specific goals and objectives and main directions have been identified.
It is necessary to ensure the accuracy of data on the amount of funds required, reporting, acreage, and livestock through the use of digital tools. The Prime Minister emphasized that digitization should contribute to increasing the transparency and effectiveness of state support measures.
“It is important to introduce IT tools in accounting for agricultural land. Digitization should contribute to the rational use of fields and pastures, effective planning of sowing operations. In this regard, it is necessary to widely use space monitoring of all agricultural fields and use drones,” Olzhas Bektenov noted.
Another important issue is the identification system for livestock and crop products. It is necessary to create an open supply chain from the place of origin to the final consumer. This system should be aimed at accounting for the produced product, guaranteeing its quality, and monitoring biological and veterinary safety.
The Prime Minister emphasized the need for widespread use of digital solutions and artificial intelligence to predict climate risks, productivity, and market prices for food. In addition, it is planned to optimize the processes of irrigation of crops, the use of plant protection products and fertilizers, feed consumption, as well as the management of the agricultural machinery fleet using artificial intelligence.
“Today, the accuracy of statistical data on animal husbandry, crop farming, accounting for grain and product stocks in stabilization stocks and warehouses, determining soil moisture, and ensuring veterinary safety remains an urgent problem. All these issues must be resolved through the full digitalization of the accounting system,” Olzhas Bektenov noted.
In this regard, the Prime Minister gave a number of instructions to the Ministries of Agriculture and Digital Development.
To jointly develop a digital map of agricultural lands by the end of 2025 in cooperation with regional akimats;
To complete the development of a surveillance system in crop production by September 1, 2025 with akimats;
On the instructions of the Head of State, it is planned to conduct a National Agricultural Census in 2025. It is necessary to fully digitize the census results, analyze them, and constantly update the resulting database.
