A memorandum-signing ceremony was held at the Fisheries Committee of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan for the implementation of an investment project involving the construction of a modern shrimp farming complex in Kazakhstan.
The project involves advanced European land-based recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) technologies. It aims to establish a high-tech production facility for premium-quality shrimp products that meet international standards for quality, environmental safety, and full traceability.
The project investor is the international company Big Blue Farms. Representing the investor at the official meeting was Marcia Favale, while the Fisheries Committee was represented by Chairman Serik Sermagambetov. The parties signed a bilateral memorandum. The local partner and contractor for the project is the Kazakh construction company Artex Machinery.
The total investment volume for the project is estimated at approximately $55 million. The region where the production complex will be built is currently being determined. Under the project, annual shrimp production is expected to reach 5,300 MT. The initiative is aimed not only at supplying the domestic market, but also at developing the region’s export potential. Once the facility reaches full production capacity, more than 300 new jobs will be created.
"Today marks the beginning of a meaningful partnership between Big Blue Farms and the Republic of Kazakhstan — a country with the vision, resources, and ambition to lead Central Asia in sustainable food production. Using land-based recirculating aquaculture, we will bring premium, traceable shrimp to consumers across the region — produced responsibly, sustainably, and at scale. In doing so, we are proud to support the President's agenda of import substitution, export-led growth, and long-term food security for Kazakhstan.” said HRH Sayyida Saria Al Said.
“The construction of a modern shrimp farming complex in Kazakhstan will become a highly significant project. It will give new momentum to the development of the fisheries sector, and we are ready to provide comprehensive government support,” said Chairman Serik Sagitzhanovich.

🔸In accordance with the roadmap for the implementation of the resolution of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated August 18, 2022 No. 569 (entered into force on January 1, 2023), on February 15, 2023, the reorganization procedure was completed by adding the Atyrau Sturgeon breeding plant to the Ural-Atyrau Sturgeon breeding plant.
🔸Further, until March 20, 2023, together with specialized specialists, a technical task was prepared to visit the production facilities of the plant and conduct a technical inspection of buildings and structures.
🔸In June of this year, technical studies on the reliability and stability of buildings and structures of factories were developed and technical conclusions were presented.
🔸In addition, in order to develop a concept for the modernization of the Ural-Atyrau Sturgeon hatchery, on May 5-6 of this year, representatives of the ETRM visited Atyrau to take stock of the buildings and structures of the plant that require modernization and reconstruction.
🔸On the basis of a fish farming-biological justification and technical conclusion, which provides for the determination of the need for female sturgeon herds to increase production capacity and the number of key components (ponds, pools, incubation machines, closed water supply facilities, etc.) developed by a subordinate scientific organization, the concept of modernization of the plant was developed and approved jointly with the plant on June 14, 2023. Based on the above documents, the terms of reference for the development of design and estimate documentation were approved.
🔷Currently, a competition is being held to determine suppliers for the development of design and estimate documentation. According to the roadmap, work continues.
🔹Currently, there are financial measures to support aquaculture entities in the form of subsidies:
️ ️ - reimbursement of 25 percent of investments in the creation and expansion of a feed production shop, fish farms, fish processing facility, purchase of equipment and equipment (http://adilet.zan.kz/rus/docs/V2200028450);
️ ️ - reimbursement of 30 percent of the cost of purchasing feed used in the breeding of Sturgeon, salmon, carp, catfish, cichlid, lat, arawan fish and crustaceans, biological justification of fish farming, 50 percent of the cost of purchasing fish planting material, the cost of medicines, the cost of purchasing a flock of female fish that complements the fish head of valuable fish species (http://adilet.zan.kz/rus/docs/V2200028188).
🔹At the same time, within the framework of the resolution, a set of measures of state support for Fisheries has been developed:
️ ️ - subsidizing interest rates when lending to fisheries entities;
️ ️ - subsidizing the cost of water supply services to aquaculture (fisheries) entities;
️ ️ - subsidizing the processing of fish products;
️ ️ - budget lending of investment projects in the field of fisheries through a trusted agent at a reduced interest rate.
🔹In order to ensure the effectiveness of state support measures, the program provides for the introduction of counter obligations for recipients of state financial support.
🔹In addition, it is planned to create and implement an information system for monitoring the development of aquaculture to simplify business, prevent shadow turnover of aquaculture facilities and more fully cover statistical accounting, form a register of aquaculture entities.
🔹In the system of education, health, internal affairs and the Armed Forces, an event is envisaged to support domestic producers of fish products by introducing a mechanism for the purchase of priority grown, as well as processed fish by state public catering organizations.
Жаңа also introduced new measures for the conservation and reproduction of fish resources, ensuring veterinary and sanitary safety, the sale of fish products, as well as the development of commercial fishing and fish processing, reconstruction and modernization of the production base of the state fish nurseries and Sturgeon breeding plant.
🔻In general, the implementation of the program will contribute to the growth of fish farming, increase domestic consumption of fish products, create new jobs and attract investment, mainly in rural areas, as well as expand the access of Fisheries entities to state support measures and, most importantly, will give an impetus to the development of the fish industry.
