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.

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."

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.

Today, another citywide beautification event took place in Shymkent as part of the traditional "Taza Kazakstan" environmental campaign.

Zhaksylyk Atayev, a representative of the Yenbekshinsky District Akim's office, noted the importance of such events: "Maintaining cleanliness in everyday life is a manifestation of love and care for one's homeland. If every resident maintains their own yard, the entire city will become cleaner and more beautiful. The "Taza Beysenbi" campaign is aimed precisely at fostering this kind of responsibility," he said. In the rapidly developing Turan district, the cleanup day took place in a unique atmosphere. Young people and veterans of the district participated in the event.
