This was stated by the Head of State Kassym-Jomart Tokayev in his speech at the Second Forum of Agricultural Workers. "First of all, I would like to congratulate all agricultural workers on their professional holiday. This is truly a holiday of real workers. Farmers, livestock specialists, peasants - everyone makes a huge contribution to the growth and prosperity of our country. I express my sincere gratitude to you for your hard work.

Agriculture is a strategically important sector of our economy.

"Today, we are holding the second forum dedicated to agriculture. Many qualified specialists from rural areas have specially come to participate in the collegial meeting. Therefore, today's forum can be called a nationwide meeting. The new speakers expressed their serious thoughts, and the proposals must be carefully considered and taken into account."

The Head of State: "This year, our farmers harvested 27 million tons of grain"

"Agriculture is always in the spotlight of the state. As President, I attach special importance to the rapid development of this sector."

Our people do not say for nothing, "If you sow a crop, the country will be full." Last year, we harvested an abundance of grain, achieving a record high in the last ten years.

This year, the autumn harvest was also fruitful. Our farmers harvested 27 million tons of grain. Each region contributed significantly to the national treasury. Among them, Akmola region had the highest figure (7.5 million tons). You know that in September I specially visited the region to see the progress of the harvest."
