A major industrial project is set to reshape Kazakhstan’s agricultural sector, as a high-tech grain deep-processing plant will be built in the Akmola Region on a 500-hectare site in its industrial zone.

The initiative was confirmed by the Government of Kazakhstan, which approved an investment agreement between the Ministry of Agriculture and Asia Altyn Dan LLP, The Caspian Post reports via Kazakh media.

The facility is expected to become one of Kazakhstan’s largest agro-industrial processing plants, focusing on biotechnology-driven, zero-waste grain processing.

Key figures of the project include:

Investment: 300 billion tenge

Capacity: up to 6 million tons of products annually

Jobs: around 800 new positions

The plant will enable full-cycle processing of grain into:

flour and cereals

animal feed

other high-value agricultural products

Beyond production, the project includes a strong innovation component:

A modern research and technology laboratory

Annual training for 40 specialists in bioengineering and technical fields

International internship programs for professionals

The development also features a multi-functional sports and wellness complex, including swimming pools and martial arts halls, which will be open to the public.

In addition, the project will fund social initiatives in education, culture, youth development, sports, and healthcare.

Officials say the plant will help:

Diversify Kazakhstan’s export structure

Reduce dependence on imports

Increase the share of processed goods in exports

Ultimately, the project aims to shift Kazakhstan’s agricultural profile from raw material exporter to a producer of high-tech, value-added agro-industrial goods, strengthening both food and economic security.
