At the Agricultural Workers' Forum, Head of State Kassym-Jomart Tokayev gave specific instructions on three main areas of development of the agricultural sector - increasing the potential of livestock farming, regulating land relations, and enhancing water efficiency.

The President noted that the potential of livestock farming is not fully realized. There are conditions for raising livestock all year round in all regions of our vast steppe. For this purpose, the state provides subsidies, irrigation of pastures, construction of feedlots, and support for the purchase of pedigree livestock. Last year, more than 60 billion tenge was allocated for this direction. In addition, there is an opportunity to expand the economy through soft loans.
The goal is to increase livestock and strengthen Kazakhstan as a major meat exporter. This requires the introduction of a systematic production cycle, proper use of pastures, and a fundamental improvement in the veterinary sector.

The President also paid special attention to the land issue. Since 2022, more than 14 million hectares of agricultural land have been returned to the state. The task now is to bring this land into full circulation by the middle of next year. Pastures will be given primarily to rural residents and investors with specific projects.
The main tasks in this direction are the revision of the cadastral value, the transfer of land plots through electronic tenders, and the development of a single digital map of land resources. Inefficient land use will now be strictly controlled as an unacceptable problem.

The water issue is the backbone of the agricultural sector. The President said that it is necessary to accelerate the modernization of water infrastructure. Currently, 60 percent of water reservoirs are under the control of agriculture, so it is necessary to widely introduce water-saving technologies. In the next three years, water-saving methods should cover at least 1 million hectares of land.
Demanding that every penny spent by the state be returned, Tokayev announced that funding would be directed to regions that have increased water efficiency. Agrarian plans and the master plan for water resources management must be fully consistent with each other.

According to the President, all initiatives in the agricultural sector should be aimed at delivering tangible results, strengthening the potential of the countryside, and ensuring the country's food security.
