On July 22, 2025, a meeting of the commission was held in Shymkent to determine the operator of fuel and lubricants for agricultural producers to carry out autumn field work. This event was aimed at creating the necessary logistics base before the start of an important stage in the agricultural sector - sowing, fertilizer application, and field work. The commission included representatives of the local akimat, the agricultural department, entrepreneurs, and technical specialists.

The commission considered the operator's service capacity, fuel supply volume, compliance with technical requirements, and environmental safety measures. In addition, indicators such as the operator's ability to efficiently transport fuel via rail, road, or warehouse systems, and taking into account the impact on the region's natural resources, were relevant.

The volume of diesel fuel allocated to the Shymkent region has been planned in sufficient quantities, and one or more operators have been identified to ensure timely and uninterrupted supply of agricultural machinery arriving in the region. This was achieved through a comprehensive analysis of experienced specialists and infrastructure resources.

This approach is not only effective in terms of fuel delivery, but also in terms of organizational efficiency. The selected operator ensures timely completion of field work by providing the necessary capacity for agricultural machinery in a timely manner. Given that the problems of water shortage and soil dryness traditionally arise in the summer and autumn periods, such planned provision is important for farmers.

Social and environmental aspects were also not ignored. The commission was guided by the fact that the operator would cause minimal damage to the ecosystem when using fuel. In accordance with special environmental standards, it was necessary to prove that the operator's fleet met technical requirements, followed safe storage and distribution methods for fuel without spills.

In order to prevent soil and surface water contamination, the operator must equip fuel storage facilities. This is an important task aimed at environmentally responsible management. In addition, the use of environmentally friendly techniques and filtration systems was considered to reduce the amount of hydrogen and carbon emissions released into the air.

Compared to the experience of previous years, in 2022 and 2023, the supply of autumn field fuel was often not timely and in sufficient quantities, which led to delays in sowing in some rural areas. Unpreparedness of operators or poor infrastructure led to losses of agricultural products. In 2024, this problem improved somewhat, and major assessments and requirements were introduced among fuel suppliers, so the creation of the commission in 2025 is a continuation and improvement of that experience.

Regarding potential environmental impacts, there are risks of spills, pollution, and indirect damage to trees and grass during fuel transportation. To prevent this, the operator should have special tanks, a spill cleanup system, and emergency preparedness measures in place when working with fuel. This will not affect the rural ecosystem or biodiversity.

According to the decision of the commission in Shymkent, after the operator is selected, it is planned to introduce monitoring along with fuel distribution. This means that the status of the ecosystem should be constantly assessed, and the quality of air, soil, and water should be checked as a combined direction of control. This time, environmental safety and agricultural productivity were considered simultaneously.

The commission meeting considered not only the operator's technical accessibility and infrastructure capabilities, but also the location of fuel exchange points. This is also important in order to avoid harm to the environment - the fuel station should be located at an appropriate distance from urban areas and water sources.

In conclusion, after the commission selected the operator, specific plans were approved aimed at effectively organizing autumn field work. This is an important event that will give impetus to the development of the agro-industrial complex.

Some experts believe that additional mechanisms should be introduced to conduct environmental audits and monitor fuel compliance with environmental standards, in collaboration with fuel operators. This will allow for the restoration of a balance between agriculture and the conservation of natural resources in the future.

Thus, the commission meeting on July 22, 2025 is a clear demonstration of responsible management practices that combine fuel supply and ecology. If implemented, this balanced approach will allow increasing the efficiency of agriculture without harming the city's ecosystem. At the same time, taking into account the shortcomings of previous years, a systematic step was taken towards an efficient and safe supply system in 2025.
