As part of the implementation of the President's instructions on the need to increase the share of agricultural processing, Akim of Kostanay region Kumar Aksakalov got acquainted with the preparatory work on the site of the new Confectionery Capital complex. The project is being implemented on the basis of the largest food industry enterprise in the region, Bayan Sulu JSC.

Bayan Sulu JSC has been holding the position of one of the largest confectionery manufacturers in Kazakhstan for many years, producing over 300 products and employing more than 1,700 people. The company's products are in demand not only within the country, but are also successfully exported to the markets of the CIS and Europe.

The new Confectionery Capital project is designed to strengthen the region's position in the food industry and significantly increase the volume of processing of local raw materials. The total investment of the project exceeds 14 billion tenge, and its production facilities will allow producing up to 16.6 thousand tons of high-quality confectionery products annually. Thanks to the implementation of the project, 260 new jobs will be created in the region, which will have a positive impact on employment.

As Akim of Kostanay region Kumar Aksakalov noted, "The implementation of the Confectionery Capital project is an important step towards fulfilling the instructions of the Head of State to increase the share of agricultural processing. We strive to maximize the potential of local raw materials and provide residents of the region with new jobs. This will not only strengthen the region's economy, but also ensure the deep processing of local products."

Currently, preparatory work has been completed – the old structures of the former bakery with an area of 7.6 thousand square meters on a 3.1 hectare site have been dismantled at the construction site. The main construction and installation works will begin in the second quarter of 2025, design and estimate documentation has been prepared, and state expertise has been successfully completed.

The financing of the project is provided with the active support of JSC SEC Tobol, which allocated 5 billion tenge for the acquisition of shares of JSC Bayan Sulu, as well as the Development Bank of Kazakhstan, which provided a loan of 6 billion tenge for the purchase of high-tech equipment. Suppliers of the necessary equipment have already been identified, which guarantees a timely start of production.

The implementation of the Confectionery Capital complex will help reduce import dependence, expand the region's export opportunities and significantly increase the production of high-value-added products. The new project will not only strengthen the economy of Kostanay region, but also provide residents of the region with stable and well-paying jobs.
