WKR ATTRACTS INVESTMENT

Governor of the region Gali Iskaliyev visited Atyrau, where he met with the founder and head of the private industrial zone Ibrahim Akdrashev.

During the meeting, projects in the industrial zone, special and civilian clothing, and projects in the field of agriculture were discussed.

The Governor of the West Kazakhstan Region also visited a private industrial zone, inspected the workshops for the production of bakery and pasta products, and also got acquainted with samples of finished products of local production.

The private industrial zone is a modern diversified enterprise, which includes a plant for the production of bakery and confectionery products, a workshop for the production of drinking water, a peasant farm, a workshop for the production of pasta products, a mill, a meat factory, a sewing workshop, as well as an asphalt concrete plant. Within the framework of the CHIZ activity, 244 jobs were created.

The Governor of the region also visited the Akzhaik district, where he got acquainted with the use of sprinkling by the AMANER farm as a method of watering agricultural crops by creating artificial rain.

KH is mainly engaged in animal husbandry. The farm has 578 ha of hay and 1,412 ha of pasture, 1,500 head of cattle, sheep and goats, as well as 110 head of horses, for grazing which an electronic shepherd system is installed along the perimeter of the pasture. Electric shepherds are known to protect animals from attack by predators and from falling into ravines and ditches.

Meanwhile, since this year, the farm has started growing 50 hectares of corn and sowing another 50 hectares of forage grasses. A drum-type sprinkler is used for irrigation. The purchase of such special equipment is 50% subsidized by the state.

The sprinkler machine is able to provide irrigation of 6.5 hectares of land in one working day, while using water most economically. Given the annual water shortage, this advantage has a positive impact on the efficiency of food production. Such machines are highly mobile, simple in design and provide uniform watering of moisture-demanding crops. The maximum sprinkling range is from 70 to 110 m.
