The Kazygurt District has always been renowned for its natural resources and favorable conditions for agricultural development. For many years, agriculture and livestock farming have been successfully practiced here. However, in recent years, attention has been focused on other promising areas, particularly the development of fisheries. This industry is considered economically profitable and socially significant, as it provides the population with high-quality produce, creates jobs, and improves well-being.

Recently, District Akim Azizkhan Ismailov visited the village of Akbastau in the Sharbulak rural district on a working visit, where he learned about the operations of the Aganay fish farm . The purpose of the visit was to review the current status of the enterprise, assess its potential, and identify future development paths.

The Aganay farm already makes a significant contribution to the district's economy. It breeds fish species such as carp, grass carp, silver carp, and silver carp. All of these fish are raised in an ecologically clean environment, in natural waters, which positively impacts the quality of the products. Fish raised in natural conditions boasts excellent taste, making them popular with consumers.

However, the farm's activities are not limited to production alone. It has become a source of stable income for local residents. Currently, the enterprise employs dozens of villagers, who enjoy steady employment and a secure future. Thus, the farm achieves two goals simultaneously: providing the population with a healthy product and maintaining social stability.

During his working visit, District Akim Azizkhan Ismailov met with the company's employees and discussed their plans and prospects. In his speech, he noted:
"Fisheries are the future of our agricultural sector. They contribute to agricultural diversification, strengthen food security, and develop export potential. We, for our part, are ready to support such initiatives."

According to the akim, the state provides a wide range of tools for agricultural development: subsidies, preferential loans, and specialist consultations. If these support measures are used correctly, the Aganai farm will be able to significantly expand production and reach new levels.

One of the main goals for the future is to expand the range of products. Currently, the farm primarily sells live fish. However, plans include producing finished products: fillets, smoked and dried fish, as well as canned goods. This range will allow it to enter new markets and attract more customers.

The district akim particularly emphasized the need to develop this area:
"Expanding the product line will allow the company to strengthen its market position and open up export opportunities. We will support such initiatives and help them find new sales channels."

The proximity of the Kazygurt district to Shymkent creates favorable conditions for logistics. A well-developed transportation network allows for both domestic supply and export. In the future, the Aganay farm may enter the markets of Russia, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan.

Developing an export-oriented business will bring tangible benefits: increased business revenues, increased tax revenues, and the creation of new jobs. All of this will positively impact the socioeconomic situation in the region.

During the visit, it was noted that local authorities are ready to provide comprehensive support to entrepreneurs. This includes not only financial assistance, but also assistance with land allocation, infrastructure development, consulting, and marketing support.

The district akim called on businessmen to more actively implement new projects:
"We're ready to work in partnership. If an entrepreneur has the desire and initiative, we'll work together to resolve all organizational issues."

One of the Aganay farm's main achievements is job creation. Most of the company's employees are residents of the village of Akbastau. For them, this is an opportunity to work close to home and provide a stable income for their families.

In the future, as production volumes increase, the number of jobs will grow. This will reduce the outflow of young people to cities and give people the opportunity to develop in their home villages.

The Aganay fish farm in the Kazygurt district is an example of how new business opportunities can be successfully developed in rural areas. It not only supplies the market with high-quality products but also creates conditions for the socioeconomic development of the district.

A working visit by District Akim Azizkhan Ismailov gave new impetus to the farm's development. Specific recommendations were made for expanding its product range, expanding into export markets, and improving operational efficiency. Implementing these proposals will allow Aganay to become a flagship fishery not only in the Kazygurt District but throughout the entire region.

Thus, “Aganay” can truly be called the beginning of new opportunities – both for the enterprise and for the entire region.
