The agro-industrial sector in West Kazakhstan is rapidly expanding, driven by new investment projects and state support.

Since January 2025, regional enterprises have received 51 billion tenge ($100.895 million) in government assistance, while gross agricultural output rose 6.4 per cent, reaching 281 billion tenge ($555.912 million), The Caspian Post reports via Kazakh media.

Governor Nariman Turegaliyev stated that 54 investment projects worth 68 billion tenge ($134.526 million) will create 870 new jobs between 2025 and 2027. This year, 18 projects totaling 15.4 billion tenge ($30.466 million) are already underway, including 1,500 hectares of irrigated land, two dairy farms with 4,800-ton capacity, and a feedlot for 3,000 cattle.

Over the past three years, 21 billion tenge ($41.545 million) has funded 12 projects, such as dairy farms, vegetable storage, feedlots, and milk processing plants. These initiatives are expected to boost the region’s self-sufficiency in milk and dairy products from 22.3 per cent to 39 per cent, the governor added.
