The Food Contract Corporation is ready to sell feed grain to assist livestock and poultry enterprises in creating a feed base. The state operator has formed a permanent feed fund in the amount of 200 thousand tons of grain. This was reported by the press service of the corporation.
To purchase feed, farmers must contact local executive bodies, which will form lists of buyers and send applications for the purchase of feed to the Food Contract Corporation. Feed grain is sold to farms at a fixed price. Raw materials are shipped from elevators in the Akmola, Kostanay and North Kazakhstan regions.
Let us recall that earlier the Ministry of Agriculture issued a warning from Kazhydromet about sharp fluctuations in air temperature in February and the need for livestock and poultry enterprises to procure feed in advance.
Since 2022, in order to provide the domestic market with affordable feed, the Food Corporation has been creating a reserve stock of feed grain, which it provides to livestock farms during the off-season. In 2024, the grain operator shipped 120 thousand tons of feed wheat to enterprises.
