Today, a government meeting chaired by Prime Minister of the Republic of Kazakhstan Olzhas Bektenov was held to discuss the progress of the harvest campaign. Regional Akim Nurlybek Nalibayev participated via videoconference.
At the meeting following the government meeting, the regional governor gave instructions to responsible industry leaders.
«As you know, this year's growing season in our region took place under very difficult conditions.
Thanks to the support of the Head of State and the Government, productive negotiations were held with neighboring countries regarding the supply of the required volume of water, and specific measures were taken.
In our region, the harvest must be completed no later than October 15, according to plan. City and district akimats must make efforts to complete the work on time. To this end, it is important to fully supply farms with the necessary diesel fuel.
To date, 5,500 tons of the 10,400 tons of discounted diesel fuel allocated for the fall harvest have been delivered. However, farms' diesel fuel purchase rates are still low. City and district akimats, please take strict control of this issue and ensure full payment of farms for the winter. The allocated diesel fuel must be utilized.
In accordance with the Head of State's directive, we must gradually optimize rice crops and increase the production of other crops that require less water. Diversification of crop production and the widespread adoption of water-saving technologies are imperative.
In accordance with the President's directive, 9 billion tenge has been allocated to our region for state support of water-saving technologies through 2026. This is unprecedented support. This will enable us to diversify our cropping patterns, including increasing the use of water-saving technologies. We must also begin growing rice using drip irrigation», - said N. Nalibayev.
Preparations for the heating season were also discussed at the meeting.
The regional head emphasized that stockpiling coal for the upcoming heating season remains a pressing issue. He recalled that he had previously ordered coal deliveries to begin in July, but this order had not been fully implemented. The regional akim stated that no problems with coal supplies should arise during the heating season and instructed the akims of Kyzylorda and all districts to expedite coal deliveries and create the necessary reserves.
Furthermore, he ordered the regional departments of education, healthcare, culture, physical education, and employment, together with the akimats of Kyzylorda and the districts, to urgently obtain readiness certificates by September 25. The regional akim demanded that boiler rooms be prepared, fuel reserves be built up, and public facilities be fully prepared for the heating season.
He also noted that repair work at railway stations in all districts must be carried out in accordance with safety requirements, in an organized manner, and in accordance with established procedures.
