ASTANA, Kazakhstan, August 12. In the Kyzylzhar district of the North Kazakhstan region, construction is underway for a plant to produce animal feed from alfalfa, Trend reports via the Ministry of Agriculture of Kazakhstan.
The project is being implemented by LLP "Salar Farm" with the support of agricultural production cooperative “Soltustik” (North).
“The advantage of alfalfa is its high content of protein. This is premium-class feed that we plan to export to China and the UAE. We grow alfalfa on our own irrigated fields,” said the company director, Arman Uataev.
Furthermore, the operational rollout of the facility is
strategically scheduled for the spring quarter of 2026. The
establishment will deploy a comprehensive technological continuum
for the processing of alfalfa, encompassing artificial hay
desiccation, baling operations, and pelleting methodologies.
The facility's operational throughput is projected to achieve an
annual output of 60,000 metric tons of finalized goods. All
workflows will be extensively mechanized. The aggregate expenditure
for the initiative is estimated at 5 billion tenge, which
translates to roughly $9 million in fiscal terms.
