During his working trip Akim of Kostanay region Arkhimed Mukhambetov was reported on the development of the southern districts. The head of the region voiced his vision of the development of Arkalyk in the future. “The primary task for the region is to create new jobs. We need to create new businesses. Literally in one and a half months we are starting the meat-processing plant. But it is necessary to create 4-5such enterprises for the region. We are ready to help with development medium - sized businesses,” Mukhambetov said. As it turned out, the founder of the meat - processing plant under construction in Arkalyk, Alyuminstroy LLP, is not limited to the launch of the meat-processing plant, but intends to build a feeding station that requires another 800 million tenge.

This issue, as explained by Mukhambetov, has already been announced to the Minister of Agriculture and will be settled in the near future. “Besides there is going to start a broiler factory that requires 50 million tenge; we shall find the money, too. But these are all small amounts. We need to get more capacity since Agro Inter Ptitsa is an egg-oriented poultry farm, and we need a meat-oriented one,” the head of the region explained the decision to open a second poultry farm in Arkalyk. Herewith not less important issue is the repair of the road in order to further constant supply of food from Arkalyk to Astana. This is more than 100 kilometers of the road, the overhaul of 1 kilometer of which will cost 150-200 million tenge. “I had a meeting with the management of Kazavtozhol and we shall take this issue to the government. It is all due to the importance of this road repair because we will sell all these meat products to the capital in the future,” - said the akim. - There is a food belt around Astana – those are Akmola and Karaganda regions. But we need Arkalyk to be the second tier, spare food zone. After all, the number of the capital's population is growing, and we shall provide Astana with all kinds of food.”

Besides, the head of the region proposed to relocate all the problematic production projects implemented in the region to Arkalyk and launch them here. Thus, to give a new lease of life not only to “problematic” projects but also to the development of the region as a whole.
