Megafarm in NKR will provide milk for 30 thousand people

The launch of new complexes in the agricultural sector continues in the region. In the area of Gabit Musirepov, a mega-farm of Vozvyshenko SK LLP was launched for 1.8 thousand heads of one-time maintenance. The project amount is 4.5 billion tenge. 30 permanent jobs have been created and will be increased to 60. The project was implemented with state support.

“This is the largest dairy farm in our region and one of the largest in the country. When reaching full capacity, the farm will produce 9,000 tons of milk per year. If translated into ordinary numbers, a mega-farm can provide milk to 30,000 people during the year,” Kumar Aksakalov, Akim of the North Kazakhstan region, wrote on his social media page.

5 years ago, 3 dairy farms operated in the Musirepov district. The sixth farm was launched today. 2 more farms are being built: LLP "Budennoe" and "UK Adil", the construction of two more farms will begin. In total, 10 dairy farms will operate in the district.

This year, 35 industrial dairy farms (more than 400 heads) are being built in Kazakhstan, of which 17 dairy farms are being built in our region alone. That is, half of the milk farms under construction are in our region. By the end of the year we will launch 8 farms. In general, this year 33 investment projects worth 81.9 billion tenge are being implemented in the region in agriculture.

Automated and digital farm significantly increases productivity. If in old farms the average milk yield per head is 3 thousand liters per year, then in modern farms this figure reaches 7-8 thousand liters. Thus, digital technologies allow to increase productivity by 2 times.
