In his Address of September 8, 2025, the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, noted that ensuring food security and reducing the domestic market's dependence on imports is a strategic task of the Government. One of the major projects in this direction is the construction of a greenhouse complex in the "Bozaryk" industrial zone in Shymkent.

The project is being implemented by the Turkish company Alarko Holding. The complex, with an investment value of 650 million US dollars and a total area of 650 hectares, is aimed at growing tomatoes. When the project reaches full capacity, it will produce 155 thousand tons of products per year.

After the first stage of the greenhouse complex is commissioned, about 2 thousand jobs will be created, and when fully operational, up to 5 thousand people will be employed. The products produced will primarily be aimed at providing the city's residents, but will also be exported to other regions of the country and foreign markets.

The mayor of Shymkent noted the great importance of this project in fulfilling the instructions of the Head of State to attract investment, as well as introduce modern water-saving technologies in crop production. The akimat provides comprehensive support to investors implementing large investment projects.

The company plans to open a factory in Shymkent to produce greenhouse structures in order to reduce construction time. In addition, the project plans to create a specialized academy that will train agricultural specialists in accordance with international standards.

The large-scale project will contribute to ensuring food security, sustainable development of agriculture, price stabilization, and the creation of new industries and jobs.
