The harvest campaign is underway across Kazakhstan. To date, farmers have harvested more than 16 million tonnes of grain from over 70% of the area sown with grain crops. This year, the total sown area exceeds 24 million hectares, with around 16 million hectares devoted to grain and leguminous crops. More than 660 billion tenge in concessional financing has been allocated to support farmers, benefiting nearly 6,000 agricultural producers. Meanwhile, applications for financing next year’s sowing campaign will open across the country on October 1.
«Early financing of 200 billion tenge is planned for the 2027 spring fieldwork campaign. This initiative provides for direct financing through the branches of the Agrarian Credit Corporation. Additionally, second-tier banks and credit cooperatives will be involved in the financing. For the convenience of farmers in the regions, social and entrepreneurial corporations will also be engaged. The Damu Entrepreneurship Development Fund, in turn, will provide guarantees for this financing,» said Sherkhan Kanybek, Head of a Division at the Kazakh Ministry of Agriculture.
Since the beginning of the year, Kazakhstan has exported over 7 million tonnes of grain, with nearly 5 million tonnes shipped to Central Asian countries. This is almost 40% more than during the same period last year. Exports to China are also on the rise, with grain shipments increasing by a third.
