A modern meat processing complex was built in the Karaganda region

The construction of a modern meat processing complex has been completed in the Abai district of the Karaganda region. It will produce chilled and frozen meat, canned food and vacuum-packed products.

The total investment amounted to 800 million tenge.

The Alisha Group enterprise is designed to produce up to 2,400 tons of products per year. At the start, 20 jobs were created here, but they plan to expand the staff in the future.

The complex includes a slaughterhouse, meat processing and canning line, as well as a sheep farm. Up to 300 heads of small and 50 heads of cattle can be processed here per day. Raw materials will be purchased from local farmers, and later they will develop their own livestock.

According to Rustam Kaliev, CEO of Alisha Group, the company immediately focuses on high quality standards and exports.

— The company has two independent Turkish production lines, and the products will comply with halal standards and international food safety requirements. This will allow us to enter not only the Kazakh market, but also to establish supplies to the countries of the Persian Gulf, Europe and China. The potential of the project is great," he said.

The location was chosen for a reason: there are raw materials in the area, contacts with farmers and convenient logistics have been established. Proximity to the city makes it easier to access staff and transportation.

Akim of Karaganda region Ermaganbet Bulekpayev got acquainted with the new production.

— The Karaganda region has all the resources for the growth of the processing industry. Such enterprises create jobs, strengthen the economy and make the region attractive to investors. Your task is to expand production and enter new markets so that the company does not stand idle," said the head of the region.

There are plans to expand production and launch deep meat processing. This will help to increase the range and workload of the enterprise, as well as provide additional income to local farms.

Documentation is currently being prepared for the construction of a feedlot for 500 heads of large and 3,000 heads of small cattle, as well as a new deep processing complex.
