00:10Kazachstan aims to become a food processing hub.
00:13Processed products accounted for 60% of agricultural output last year,
00:17while exports of processed foods rose by 35%, reaching over 2.5 billion euro.
00:23The government now wants value-added products to dominate agricultural exports.
00:29Welcome to East-West Connect.
00:31We're highlighting business and economic opportunities in Kazakhstan
00:34and the wider Central Asian region, connecting with Europe and beyond.
00:38With oil seed processing capacity at 5 million tons per year,
00:42Kazakhstan ranks among the top three suppliers of sunflower meal to the EU
00:47and the world's top 10 exporters of sunflower oil.
00:50It produced 890,000 tons of vegetable oil last year, up 17% from 2024.
00:56The country is also the EU's second largest supplier of durum wheat
01:00and already processes 5 million tons of grain annually.
01:04By 2028, it plans to add 6 million tons of deep grain processing capacity,
01:09focusing on higher-value products such as amino acids, syrups and vitamins.
01:15For more on the country's food processing ambitions,
01:17we spoke to Kazakhstan's Vice Minister of Agriculture, Yerbol Tashjureko.

01:42i to otwórzanie nowych inwestycyjnych projektów,
01:48które naprawialiły na przerobotę produkcji agro-promyślnego kompleksa.
01:53Na dzisiaj u nas formowany konkretny pipeline inwestycyjnych projektów,
01:57który my odsłyszymy, monitorujemy,
01:59razem z inwestorami, razem z regionami,
02:02gdzie ustanowali się zgodnie zróbami.
02:04Te produkty, które my zapłaniowali,
02:06i w pełni nam obieczną poważę, w celom,
02:10dole przeroboty produkcji agro-promyślnego kompleksa i jej następnego eksporcia.
02:14Jak się zgodnie zgodnie zgodnie z krajami z krajami,
02:19szczególnie z rączem, ryżące i chłopami?
02:23My poważujemy, że zawsze zgodnie zgodnie,
02:29które odpowiadają się do naszych eksportywnych produkcji.
02:31W roku roku,
02:32że my zakupiły około 7 najlepszych
02:36исследowalów, które były akkreditowane
02:39ze strony Europejskiego Sоюza.
02:41Jeśli wcześniej była możliwość
02:43sprawdzić naszą eksportywą,
02:45w tym числе importywą produkcję
02:47na 7 komponentów,
02:48to teraz my możemy
02:49sprawdzić już po 77 komponentach.
02:52To jest dość szeroky i tłumaczony
02:54kontrol k naszej produkcji.
02:56I w tej chwili,
02:58na siedemnieniu już
02:59jest u nas согласowanych
03:03certificatów i rozwiązania
03:04po podstawki, porównywane z Europy Sоюzem,
03:07to miód, to ryba.
03:10W tym числе, w tym roku,
03:11jest paket już przygotowywania
03:13po eksporcie naszego kastanowskiego miasta.
03:15Mr. Tajurekow, thanks for being with us today.
03:17Thank you.
03:20W tym roku, w tym sectorie,
03:21dairy industria procesuje
03:22około 2,7 milion tonów miłek
03:25annually, while meat-processing
03:27enterprises produce 450,000 tonów.
03:30Against that backdrop,
03:32one of the sector's leading
03:33companies is expanding
03:35its processing capacity.
03:38Kazachstan's poultry experts
03:40are partly driven
03:41by the ITAS holding group,
03:43which plans to nearly
03:44quadruple total output
03:45to 350,000 tonów
03:47by 2030.
03:49The group owns
03:49Central Asia's largest
03:51poultry farm,
03:51located in Kazachstan's
03:53Akmola region.
03:53The Makinsk Poultry Complex
03:55produces 90,000 tonów
03:57of meat per year
03:57and offers 80 productów
03:59across the full-value chain,
04:01from chilled meat
04:02to further processed
04:03and ready-to-cook items.
04:04If you look at the last year,
04:07Kazakhstan exported
04:08всего 31,000 ton
04:10of meat per year,
04:11but here
04:12the amount of our company
04:14is 11,000.
04:15If you say,
04:16who we sell,
04:17in which countries,
04:18it can be called
04:18the Russian Federation,
04:20Kyrgyzstan,
04:21Tajikistan,
04:22Uzbekistan
04:23and Belarus.
04:24And now,
04:25we are working on the
04:26to expand the market
04:27of the market.
04:28We look at China
04:29and the Central Asia.
04:31The Makinsk Poultry Farm
04:33was launched in 2015
04:34with support
04:35from the European Bank
04:36for Reconstruction
04:37and Development
04:38and the Baitirek Venture Fund
04:39with a credit line
04:40from the Development Bank
04:42of Kazakhstan.
04:42When we looked at the question
04:44of financing
04:45of our project,
04:46we planned that
04:47it would be 20 by 80.
04:48That is,
04:4920% of the cost
04:51are the private funds
04:53and 80%
04:54are the attracted funds.
04:55And as the attracted funds
04:57were the credit resources
04:58from the Bank of the Development
04:59of Kazakhstan.
05:00As Kazakhstan
05:01wraps up production,
05:02the sector
05:03is increasingly focused
05:04on expanding capacity
05:05and boosting experts.
05:08To discuss
05:09financing for the sector
05:11and how this growth
05:12is being supported.
05:13We are joined
05:13by Marat Yulibayev,
05:15Chairman of the Board
05:16of the Development Bank
05:17of Kazakhstan.
05:20Mr. Yulibayev,
05:21thanks for joining us.
05:22Thank you,
05:22Boutankos,
05:23for the invitation.
05:24What are the main barriers
05:24to shifting
05:25from raw commodity exports
05:26to deep value
05:28and what conditions
05:29are still needed
05:31to accelerate
05:31the sector's development?
05:32Kazakhstan has
05:33abundant resources
05:34of land,
05:36so we have more than
05:36200 million hectares
05:38of agricultural land
05:39and we have
05:40more than 25 million
05:41hectares of arable land.
05:44So we produce
05:45a lot of raw materials,
05:47but primarily grain,
05:50it's oil products,
05:51not really
05:52processed products.
05:54So just to give
05:55an example,
05:57in terms of grain production,
05:59last year,
06:00we produced more than
06:0025 million tons
06:02of grain,
06:03but only one-fifth
06:04had been processed
06:05in Kazakhstan.
06:06And if you talk
06:07about deep processing,
06:08it's only
06:09a few percentage percentage.
06:10So we have
06:12a strong base
06:13of raw materials
06:14and the question
06:14is how it's going
06:15to process
06:16and produce
06:17and to create
06:19more value,
06:20additional value
06:22products
06:22in Kazakhstan.
06:24And here,
06:24this very important
06:25point is
06:26to build
06:28new production
06:29facilities
06:30in Kazakhstan
06:30which is going
06:31to use
06:31those raw materials
06:33and create
06:35new products.
06:36If the food
06:37industry
06:37is to drive
06:38growth,
06:40what segments
06:41offer the strongest
06:42long-term
06:43financing potential
06:44and what DBK
06:45instruments
06:45are currently
06:46most in demand
06:47to modernize
06:49food production?
06:50We see
06:51a lot of
06:52potential there.
06:53We're talking
06:54about deep
06:55grain processing,
06:56production of
06:57biotanol,
06:58production of
06:58lisin,
07:00syrups,
07:01some dairy
07:02products,
07:02production,
07:03oil and
07:04fat ingredients,
07:05etc.,
07:06etc.,
07:06where we see
07:08strong potential
07:09in Kazakhstan.
07:11Development Bank
07:12of Kazakhstan
07:12focuses on
07:13two main
07:14directions.
07:15The first one,
07:15I would say,
07:16we focus on
07:17developing
07:17new investment
07:19projects,
07:20so it's
07:20long-term
07:21financing
07:21to create
07:22new production
07:23facilities
07:24in Kazakhstan.
07:25And second
07:25direction
07:26is export
07:27financing.
07:28So when
07:29the export
07:30company,
07:31the local
07:32company
07:32want to
07:33export,
07:33potentially
07:34could
07:34apply
07:34for us
07:35in terms
07:35of
07:35getting
07:36export
07:36financing
07:37in order
07:38to help
07:38them
07:40sell
07:40their
07:40products
07:41abroad.
07:42Both
07:42directions
07:43I would
07:43say
07:43are having
07:45a strong
07:46interest
07:46from the
07:48entrepreneurs.
07:49Mr. Gilibayev,
07:50thanks so much
07:50for your time
07:50today.
07:51Thank you,
07:51BOTAKOS.
07:54That's all
07:54for now.
07:55See you in the
07:55next episode
07:56of EasyBest
07:57Connect.
