Kazakhstan has completed its feed-harvesting campaign, with more than 43 million tonnes of feed of all types collected. Planned targets were exceeded for four main categories.
Farmers harvested 27 million tonnes of hay, or 105.2% of the target; 2.4 million tonnes of haylage (103.9%); 2.9 million tonnes of silage (105.3%); 4.9 million tonnes of straw (103.5%); and 5.7 million tonnes of concentrated feed (100.3%).
Exceeding targets for hay, haylage, silage and straw creates an additional reserve and improves livestock farms’ readiness for winter. Insurance stocks are intended to help agricultural producers maintain operations in adverse weather conditions.
