ASTANA, Kazakhstan, July 13. A large-scale investment project to create an agro-industrial cluster of major cattle feedlots is being launched in the Sauran district of the Turkestan region of Kazakhstan, Trend reports, citing Kazakhstan’s Ministry of Agriculture.
According to the information, the main feature of the project is the concentration of 292 feedlots across an area of 185 hectares, which will allow for efficient use of infrastructure, cost optimization, and centralized production.
“Currently, 30 cattle feedlots are being built on a 20-hectare area in the Yeski Ikan rural district of the Sauran region, with construction already underway at 25 of them. These facilities are expected to accommodate and fatten a total of 15,000 head of cattle,” the statement said.
The project also includes the establishment of a full production cycle for processing livestock products. A 1.5-hectare plot has been allocated for the construction of a modern slaughterhouse, which will provide the necessary infrastructure for the initial processing, storage, and transportation of meat products in accordance with high standards.
The total investment in the project amounts to 5 billion tenge (approximately $9.5 million). Most of the funds are allocated for construction and installation work, the development of utility infrastructure, and the establishment of a feed supply base.
Key advantages of the project include the optimization of production processes through the concentration of feedlot operations, simplified logistics and management, and centralized veterinary and sanitary control.
The implementation of the project is expected to significantly boost beef cattle farming in the region, supply the domestic market with high-quality local products, and enhance Kazakhstan’s export potential.
