ASTANA, Kazakhstan, August 15. The North Kazakhstan region is gearing up to wrap up the harvest campaign—it aims to gather crops from a whopping 4.3 million hectares of agricultural land, Trend reports via the press service of Kazakhstan’s prime minister.
In 2025, about 4.3 million hectares of crops in the North Kazakhstan region are due for harvesting, of which 3 million hectares are occupied by grains, 978,800 hectares by oilseeds, 392,000 hectares by fodder crops, 8,600 hectares by potatoes, and 1,400 hectares by vegetables.
Furthermore, in the context of the autumn agricultural
operations, a total of 58,200 tons of subsidized diesel fuel has
been designated for farmers' utilization.
“In excess of 7,000 grain harvesters are engaged in the harvesting
initiative, comprising approximately 4,000 advanced high-efficiency
models, 12,300 tractors, 9,000 trailers, 4,500 headers, and 5,600
trucks.” Since the commencement of the fiscal year, the
agricultural machinery fleet has undergone a three percent
enhancement: 1,360 units of equipment were procured at a capital
outlay of 36.5 billion tenge (approximately $69.35 million),” the
communiqué articulates.
To accommodate the recent yield, infrastructural enhancements have
been implemented, resulting in storage capabilities reaching
approximately 7 million tons within the region. This includes a
substantial allocation of 3.2 million tons distributed across 45
accredited grain-receiving entities.
Assistance is allocated to the agro-industrial sector of the region
through the “Ken Dala” and “Ken Dala-2” initiatives—approximately
97 billion tenge (around $184.3 million) has been disbursed thus
far. Via the operational framework of “KazAgroFinance,”
agricultural producers have accessed preferential financing
aggregating in excess of 25.3 billion tenge (circa $48.07 million),
while an additional allocation of 7.4 billion tenge (roughly $14.06
million) has been earmarked for preemptive procurement
initiatives.
