"It is necessary to raise agriculture to a new level. In order to give a new impetus to this sector, the state has been carrying out reforms in recent years. Significant funds are being allocated, this year one trillion tenge was spent to support farmers. The necessary loans were provided on time. Such large-scale support has never been seen in our country before.

However, it is clear that these measures are not yet enough to fully unlock the enormous potential of the agro-industry. The problem is not in the amount of funds, but, most importantly, in their effective use. The Government must have a clear plan for the transition to an advanced agro-economy.

Currently, a number of large projects for the deep processing of agricultural products are being implemented. Domestic and foreign investors are participating in them. The total investment volume exceeds $2 billion. More than three thousand jobs will be created. Products are exported to many countries around the world. It is necessary to expand the scope of such projects. In each region, a single network should be formed, taking into account the specifics of each region, which will deliver finished products from production to store shelves.

Many regions have excellent agricultural enterprises that cover all stages of production. They are well known to the public. These enterprises are significantly increasing the efficiency of production through the massive introduction of digitalization methods.

The best agricultural enterprises have completely established the entire production chain, from the production of agricultural products to their deep processing, and have achieved great success. Therefore, it is necessary to create maximum conditions for the dissemination of the experience of such agricultural holdings.

"This is the task of the competent ministry and public organizations. Such a step will allow for the widespread use of innovations and scientific discoveries in agriculture."
