Today, Head of State Kassym-Jomart Tokayev participated in the second Forum of Agricultural Workers and shared his current thoughts on the current state and future development directions of the agro-industrial complex. The forum was attended by more than 2,000 people - farmers, industry specialists, investors, and representatives of public and international organizations.

According to the President, the country's economy grew by 6.4% in the first ten months of this year, and agriculture is not lagging behind. Investments in the sector reached 790 billion tenge, an increase of 20%. Over the past three years, labor productivity has increased by 37.3%, and Kazakhstan is in 32nd place in the global food security ranking.

At the same time, he noted that the country's agricultural potential has not yet been fully realized. Kazakhstan ranks 6th in the world in terms of pasture land and 8th in terms of arable land. Therefore, the main task is to effectively use the available resources.

According to the President, over the past ten years, gross agricultural output has grown more than 2.5 times, from 3.3 trillion tenge to 8.3 trillion tenge. The goal now is to double this figure by 2030.

Tokayev emphasized that the village is the root and spiritual pillar of our people, and the development of the agricultural sector paves the way for the development of the country as a whole. The main priorities in the coming years will be quality work aimed at real results, effective reforms, and rational use of resources.
