ASTANA, Kazakhstan, March 27. Grain terminal in Beineu, located in Kazakhstan's Mangistau region, has resumed operations after being inactive since 2018, Trend reports.
The opening ceremony was attended by Nurdaulet Kilybay, the Akim (Governor) of the Mangistau region, as well as the leaders of the Halyk Foundation and local district governors.
This initiative is expected to enhance the region's food security and boost Kazakhstan's export potential.
"This project will not only ensure food stability for the region, but it will also strengthen exports and create new job opportunities," stated Kilybay.
The modern infrastructure of the Beineu terminal positions it as a key logistics hub for land cargo transportation to Caspian Sea countries. This will bolster the economic potential of Mangistau and reinforce its role in international agricultural trade.
“The Halyk Foundation is committed to supporting the development
of the Mangistau region. Investing in crucial regional projects is
our top priority. Since 2023, the foundation has allocated 4.5
billion tenge ($9 million) to the region, including 1.8 billion
tenge ($3.6 million) for the reconstruction of the Beineu grain
terminal. This project is not just an infrastructure project—it
will help create new jobs, ensure stability for local businesses,
and strengthen the country’s export potential,” said Sagynbek
Shunkeyev, director of the Halyk Foundation.
The project is owned by Eurasia Trans Logistic LLP. With funding
from the Halyk Foundation, the Akimat of the Mangistau region, in
collaboration with the Caspiy Social Entrepreneurship Corporation,
managed the re-launch of the grain terminal.
The terminal has the capacity to store 100,000 tons of grain, produce 400 tons of flour daily, and process 25,000 tons of bran annually. It is expected that the terminal will handle up to 2 million tons of cargo per year, generating around 200 new jobs. Products from the terminal will be exported to Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Afghanistan.
