During a working trip to Altynsarin district, Akim of Kostanay Region Kumar Aksakalov reviewed the progress of implementing major investment projects in the agro-industrial complex.

During the visit, the head of the region inspected the facilities of investment projects in the dairy farming sector, reviewed the progress of spring field work, and met with agricultural producers of the district.

«The Head of State has set a task to increase the share of processed products in the agro-industrial complex to 70 percent within three years. To ensure food security, we must increase our own production», – noted the regional akim.

For this purpose, last year, 7 modern dairy farms with a total capacity of 46 thousand tons were commissioned. Currently, the construction of another 6 similar farms with a total capacity of 34 thousand tons is ongoing, 5 of which will be launched this year.

The total investment in the projects amounted to 49.3 billion tenge. This has created more than 220 new jobs, with another 210 jobs planned to be opened in the near future.

It should be noted that 4 out of the 13 dairy farms being implemented in the region are located precisely in Altynsarin district.

To date, the farms of peasant farms «Tapayev T.B.» and «Akhmetov T.B.» have been commissioned. The dairy farms of the peasant farm «Kuanyshbayev K.M.» and LLP «Dukas» are under construction.

The first site visited was the under-construction dairy farm of LLP «Dukas 2020» in the village of Obagan. The total project cost is 3 billion 270 million tenge. Of this, 300 million tenge are the enterprise's own funds, and 2 billion 970 million tenge are borrowed funds from JSC «SPK «Tobol». The project involves keeping 400 head of Simmental cattle. After commissioning, it is planned to produce 3,200 tons of milk annually and create 25 new jobs.

The next site was the dairy farm of the peasant farm «Akhmetov T.B.», located near the village of Bolshaya Churakovka. The total project cost exceeds 3.6 billion tenge. Of this, 386 million tenge are the farm's own funds, 3 billion tenge are borrowed funds from JSC «SPK «Tobol», and another 232.8 million tenge were attracted through second-tier banks. The project involves creating a farm for 400 head of dairy herd with the purchase of Holstein-Friesian cattle. The planned production volume is 2,500 tons of milk per year. The enterprise will create 26 new jobs.

Another major project is the construction of the dairy farm of the peasant farm «Kuanyshbayev K.M.» in the village of Novoalekseyevka. The total project cost exceeds 3.1 billion tenge. Of this, 311 million tenge are the farm's own funds, and 2.8 billion tenge are borrowed funds from JSC «SPK „Tobol“». The farm is designed for 400 head of Simmental cattle. The design capacity will allow producing up to 2,800 tons of milk per year. Additionally, 26 new jobs will be created. According to the head of the peasant farm, Gulnara Kuanyshbaeyeva, the completion of construction work is scheduled for early 2027.

«After all 13 dairy farms in the region reach their design capacity, milk production in organized farms will increase almost twofold – from 85 thousand to 165 thousand tons. Furthermore, the load on milk processing enterprises will increase from 75 to 86 percent», – emphasized Kumar Aksakalov.

In Altynsarin district, after the launch of all four dairy farms and their reaching design capacity, milk production volume will increase from 6.7 thousand to 19.3 thousand tons per year, or by 2.9 times. This will give an additional impetus to the development of agriculture, ensure stable food supply for the population, and strengthen the region's economy.

During the working trip, the head of the region also visited the sown areas of LLP «Olzha Belyaevka», where he reviewed the progress of spring field work. Akim of Altynsarin district Arnur Sartov reported on the current situation in crop production, the provision of agricultural producers with material and technical resources, and the progress of the sowing campaign.

Additionally, the regional akim was presented with information on the implementation of the republican environmental program «Taza Kazakhstan».

Summing up the trip, Kumar Aksakalov noted that the development of dairy farming remains one of the priority areas of the region's agro-industrial complex. In particular, the launch of modern dairy farms will increase the production volumes of quality products, create new jobs, and strengthen the region's food security.
