Agricultural machinery in NKR is 100% ready for harvesting campaign

At the meeting of the akimat of the North Kazakhstan region, issues related to harvesting and forage procurement were discussed.

In pursuance of the instructions of the Head of State, the region is consistently implementing a course on diversification of crop areas. This year, the area under highly profitable crops — sunflower, flax, rapeseed and lentils — has been significantly increased.

329 thousand tons of mineral fertilizers have been applied. 7 thousand grain harvesters, including 4 thousand high-performance ones, will be used in the harvest. The readiness of agricultural machinery is 100%. 58.2 thousand tons of subsidized diesel fuel were allocated.

The capacity of all 45 elevators and storage tanks of agricultural formations is 6.9 million tons. Today, all elevators of the region are ready.

In addition, 1 million tons of hay and 302 thousand tons of haylage have been prepared.
