The results of the audit of the Supreme Audit Chamber of the subsidy system in agriculture were heard today at the Plenary session of the Mazhilis of the Parliament.
The effectiveness of subsidies in the agro-industrial complex is evidenced by the following indicators: recipients of subsidies in crop production in 2023 harvested 18.5 c/ha, when the national average yield was at the level of 10 c/ha. In 2024, it will be 25-30 kg/ha, which is also higher than the national average.
Poultry and livestock enterprises are also demonstrating steady growth in production volumes. So, in 5 years, the poultry industry has increased the availability of poultry meat from 55% to 73%. Only in the period 2022-2023 the increase in production amounted to 16%. These are very good indicators. For example, Aytas holding has increased production volumes 5.5 times in 5 years, reaching 160 thousand tons of products per year. Aulie Ata Phoenix LLP has doubled production volumes in 3 years: from 5 to 10 thousand tons per year.
In dairy production, average milk yields in modern MTFs have reached 7800 liters per year per 1 feed cow, and the leaders milk 11 thousand liters each, which meets all international standards. Although in 2021, the average yield in agricultural enterprises was 4,400 liters per year.
For comparison, in 2014, the level of equipment upgrade was only 2%, 5,000 cars were purchased per year, and now at the end of the year this figure was 5.5%, farmers purchased 22 thousand units of modern equipment.
It should be noted that in the agricultural sector there are 14 areas of subsidization, 90 thousand registered users, 224 thousand applications are received per year. Given these scales, errors and errors are not excluded. However, the Audit revealed financial irregularities in the amount of 2 billion tenge, which is 0.2% of the amount of 943 billion tenge covered by the audit. This indicates the overall normal functioning of the system.
By the end of 2023, the domestic market is 100% or more secured for 10 commodity items, including wheat flour, salt, bread, rice, pasta, sunflower oil, potatoes, lamb, beef and carrots.
The security of 14 food products is 80% or more, including chicken eggs, cucumbers, horse meat, tomatoes, milk, buckwheat groats, cabbage, pepper, pork, onions, beets, fermented dairy products, butter and apples.
In 2024, the Ministry of Agriculture has taken a number of measures to increase the effectiveness of subsidies. So, in 2024, out of 450 billion tenge of subsidies, 50% are directed to financial instruments, mainly to reduce the cost of interest rates on loans and leasing. Their final recipients are second–tier banks and financial institutions. Changes have been made so that farmers receive a cheaper loan at a net 5%.
This practice will continue – in working capital for processing, animal husbandry, as well as long-term money for investment purposes. The task is to provide the industry with resources. Counter-obligations have also been introduced in the form of an increase in the gross output of agricultural producers. The Ministry takes into account all the data based on the results of the review of the recommendation.
