First phase of starch and syrup plant commissioned

The first phase of a starch and syrup plant has been launched in the Kyzylorda region. It includes a corn drying and storage complex with a capacity of 20,000 tonnes. The construction of a facility for deep processing of raw materials is also planned. Once fully operational, the plant will be able to process up to 150,000 tonnes of corn annually and produce around 20 different products, including starch and syrup.

«Our facility has a storage capacity of 20,000 tonnes of corn. However, if farmers harvest more, we are ready to accept additional volumes as early as this year. That is why we aimed to complete the project as quickly as possible, so that farmers would know the facility was ready to receive their harvest. The main equipment and engineers came from Türkiye, while the drying unit was delivered from France. It can process up to 1,200 tonnes of grain per day,» noted the Director of the starch and syrup plant Shukhrat Kurbanov.
