At an extended meeting of the Akimat of Kostanay region, chaired by the regional akim Kumar Aksakalov, the key tasks of the agro-industrial complex were considered in light of the instructions of the Head of State.

The President of the country outlined specific goals for the agricultural sector: to double the volume of agricultural production, triple labor productivity and enter the top ten world leaders in deep grain processing. These ambitious goals require a systematic approach and coordinated work of all industry participants.

Increase in areas and attention to soils

One of the important areas of the spring campaign will be the diversification of crop areas. This year, the area of ​​oilseed crops in Kostanay region will increase from 691 to 755 thousand hectares. This decision will not only strengthen the resilience of agriculture to external factors, but also increase the export potential of the region.

Much attention is paid to the preservation and restoration of soil fertility. In 2025, the volume of subsidies for mineral fertilizers increased by 23% and reached 10 billion tenge.
- The land should not just be used - it should be taken care of. Soil fertility is not a right, but an obligation of every farmer, - the regional akim emphasized.

Specific tasks have been set for the timely purchase and application of fertilizers, providing farmers with subsidized diesel fuel, as well as upgrading agricultural machinery. According to the results of last year, the level of equipment renewal in the region was 6.1%. This year, it is planned to increase this figure.

Investments in the agricultural economy

In order to develop the agricultural economy in the region, 36 investment projects worth 52.5 billion tenge are being implemented. Thanks to this, more than 600 new jobs are being created.

A special place among them is occupied by the construction of six dairy farms - part of a large-scale program that provides for the launch of 30 dairy farms by 2028. This will significantly increase the volume of milk processing and strengthen the region's position in the domestic and foreign markets.

Sustainable agriculture is the basis of security

The development of agriculture is not only an economic issue, but also the basis of food security and sustainable development of the entire region. The regional administration will continue its systematic work to support farmers, modernize infrastructure and introduce modern technologies in agriculture.
