Kyzylorda region has an advantageous geographical location.
One third of the international transport corridor "Western Europe – Western China" passes through the territory of the entire region, as well as main railway lines, which are the fastest and most efficient trade route connecting Europe and Asia.
Agriculture is the backbone of the regional economy.
The region produces more than 90% of all Kazakh rice and salt. We fully provide the domestic market, as well as actively export to countries far and near abroad.
The main agricultural crop of the region is rice. The total sown area of rice annually is more than 80 thousand hectares.
For reference: cereals - 93.7 thousand hectares, oilseeds - 5 thousand hectares, forage crops - 71 thousand hectares, potatoes, vegetables, melons - 17.3 thousand hectares.
Along with this, the priority sectors are livestock and marine fisheries. The Small Aral Sea and more than 200 lakes of fishery importance are located in the region.
Today, 9 solar power plants with a total capacity of 89 MW operate in the region with the participation of domestic and foreign investors.
A modern thermal power plant with a capacity of 240 MW is being built in the regional center with the participation of the Turkish company Aksa Energy in the amount of about 500 million US dollars.
Together with Qatari investors, an agreement has been reached on the construction of a steam and gas installation with a capacity of 1,100 MW worth more than $1.8 billion by 2029.
One of the key competitive advantages of the Kyzylorda region is its rich natural resource base. The region has reserves of ferrous and non–ferrous metals, minerals and rare earth elements - 66% of the country's vanadium reserves, 16% of zinc, 11% of lead and 15% of uranium are located in the Kyzylorda region.
