The Ministry of Trade and Integration has developed a draft roadmap for the export of agricultural products. The draft has already been agreed upon with the Atameken National Chamber of Entrepreneurs and industry associations, the press service of the Ministry of Agriculture reported.
The government held the second meeting of the operational headquarters on autumn field work, where they also discussed issues of exporting the new harvest.
The Ministry of Transport reported on the creation of an operational headquarters for the transportation of grain for export and within the country. In addition to government agencies, akimats and KTZ, the participants of the operational headquarters include the Food Corporation and the Atameken National Chamber of Entrepreneurs. As noted at the meeting, so far there have been no problems with supplies.
“At the operational headquarters, we must detail and find a solution to all emerging operational issues so that they do not develop into a problem. Our task today is to provide farmers with everything they need to harvest. And at the same time, resolve export issues,” Deputy Prime Minister Serik Zhumangarin emphasized.
It was also noted at the meeting that farmers in grain-growing regions have submitted 495 applications for the allocation of an additional 67.7 thousand tons of diesel fuel and 21.5 thousand tons of liquefied gas for drying units. Serik Zhumangarin instructed the Ministry of Energy to provide the regions with grain drying on a priority basis.
In total, there are 1,301 grain drying units in the regions, while the northern regions need another 76 units. Investment subsidies are provided for the purchase of dryers for agricultural products to reimburse up to 30% of the costs.
