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.

The carryover stock from the previous winter amounts to 3.6 million tonnes. In addition, Food Contract Corporation JSC has formed a 200,000-tonne feed-grain reserve to provide agricultural producers with additional supplies.

If needed, the grain will be directed to livestock and poultry farms, including to cover demand during the off-season. The Ministry of Agriculture and regional akimats continue to monitor the final stage of the campaign, focusing on adequate stocks and farms’ readiness for winter.
