John Deere partners with Kazakhstan for local machinery production

ASTANA, Kazakhstan, April 3. John Deere, a U.S.-based brand, has commenced production of self-propelled, towed, and mounted agricultural machinery at its new Localization Center in Kazakhstan's Kostanay region, Trend reports.

"Thanks to the political and economic reforms underway in Kazakhstan, we have been able to establish industrial cooperation with the leading American agricultural machinery brand, John Deere USA. This is a historic achievement. Through such high-tech projects, we are not only creating new jobs and adopting innovative technologies but also cultivating an engineering mindset among Kazakhstanis," said Dinara Shukizhanova, president of AGROMASH.

The official representative of John Deere in Kazakhstan is the 'Eurasia Group' company. As part of this project, they will continue distributing agricultural machinery, now made in Kazakhstan, along with offering services and integrating digital solutions into the country’s agricultural sector.

“Additionally, the project will bring additional resources to support economic development, education, and the training of professionals in agriculture, including agronomists, engineers, machine operators, and IT specialists. Over the next five years, three modern service centers will be built, which will become key platforms for introducing digital technologies and improving the efficiency of the country’s agro-industrial complex," informed the Ministry of Agriculture of Kazakhstan.

As part of the ongoing expansion of industrial cooperation, AGROMASH will continue to localize other Western brands, which will further increase the share of domestically produced agricultural machinery in Kazakhstan’s market.

John Deere, a global leader in agricultural machinery, is launching production in Kazakhstan, marking a crucial step in the development of the industry. It is a famous United States brand that produces machinery for agriculture, construction, and forestry, as well as lawn care equipment. It was founded in 1837 by John Deere, initially making steel plows to help farmers work through tough soil. Over time, the company expanded and became a leading manufacturer of heavy machinery used in farming and other industries.

Manufacturing will take place at the AGROMASH Localization Center, the largest localized industrial facility in the country’s agricultural machinery sector, ensuring high-quality production and technical support.
