To date, 208 projects worth 20.9 billion tenge have been approved.

“In 2023, according to the Unified Industrialization Map, it is planned to implement 3 projects worth 14.9 billion tenge. Thus, 207 jobs will be created. Among them is a project to create a poultry farm in the amount of 9.9 billion tenge. Semi-finished products will be made from poultry meat here. It is expected that the capacity of the enterprise will be up to 5 thousand tons of products per year,” S. Shapkenov noted.

It is also a gas processing plant, a plant for the production of butadiene and its derivatives, workshops for the production of geotextiles and geosynthetic materials.

“The issue of creating a petrochemical cluster is relevant for the region. An important step in this direction is the commissioning last year with the participation of the Head of State of the first integrated gas chemical complex in Kazakhstan. The capacity of the enterprise aimed at processing raw materials from the Tengiz field is 500,000 tons of polypropylene per year. The production facility is designed not only to cover the demand for polypropylene, but also to assist the development of SMEs in the construction, medicine, transport, and food industries that produce various products from polypropylene. Today, 632 people are involved in the production of polypropylene, and about one thousand workers work in contractor organizations. The construction of the second stage of the gas chemical complex is planned. In particular, it is planned to launch the production of polyethylene and butadiene. It is expected that over 8 thousand people will be provided with jobs at the construction stage, and 800 people will be provided with the commissioning of the facility,” S. Shapkenov said.
