Within the framework of the strategy for the sustainable development of the agro-industrial complex of Kazakhstan, three key areas have been identified, among which special attention is paid to the development of domestic seed production.
Since 2015, the National Agrarian Research and Educational Center and its subsidiaries have developed 686 scientific projects, 465 of which are in the field of crop production.
Over the past eight years, scientists have developed 326 varieties and hybrids of crops, 37% of which are cereals. All varieties have passed state tests and are included in the state register.
Seeds of domestic breeding are in demand among farmers. For example, in the Karaganda region, 99% of the cultivated areas are sown with them.
Among the popular varieties on the grain market are "Taimas", "Damsinskaya 2017", as well as winter wheat "Altai 1" and winter rye "Oskemen", which have shown high results this year.
To achieve the goal of covering 80% of Kazakhstan's acreage with domestic seeds, NANOC has already produced 14,000 tons of super elite seeds. It is planned to increase this volume to 40 thousand tons in the next two years.
