Agricultural Investment Opportunities in Kazakhstan

Government Support and Subsidies

The Kazakh government provides robust support for businesses investing in the agro-industrial complex, including: 

• Subsidies to reimburse investment expenses (for building, expanding, or modernizing production facilities).
• Interest rate subsidies for commercial loans.
• Preferential leasing programs for acquiring modern agricultural machinery and equipment through.

Agricultural Investment Opportunities in Kazakhstan

Kazakhstan is one of the world’s largest agricultural countries, with vast fertile land, abundant water resources in key regions, and a strategic location connecting Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. Kazakhstan’s agricultural sector is undergoing rapid modernization, shifting from raw crop exports to deep processing and high-value agritech.

Driven by vast land reserves, favorable regional trade routes, and strong import-substitution policies, the country offers lucrative opportunities for commercial farming, agribusiness development, and agricultural technology investments

Kazat Group welcomes international investors to participate in sustainable and profitable agricultural projects across Kazakhstan.

High-Potential Investment Sub-sectors

• Deep Processing of Grain and Oilseeds: Major international players are actively building oil extraction and processing plants across the Almaty, Kostanay, and North Kazakhstan regions. Expanding into plant-based proteins and food ingredients yields high margins for export to China and the EU. 
• Livestock & Meat Export: Demand remains high for premium beef, lamb, and poultry in regional markets like China and the Middle East. Investments in breeding genetics, modern feed mills, and refrigerated supply chains are highly encouraged. 
• Agritech and Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA): To combat seasonal shortages and conserve water, the government actively promotes the development of high-tech greenhouse complexes, hydroponics, and precision agriculture tools. 
• Organic Agriculture: With nearly 200,000 hectares certified under international organic standards, growing organic wheat, flax, and soybeans for the European market is an expanding niche. 

Strategic Locations

• Almaty & Zhetisu Regions: Ideal for poultry farming, dairy processing, and high-tech greenhouses, with direct access to sales markets in neighboring Central Asian countries and specialized logistics via the SEZ “Khorgos-Eastern Gate”. 
• Northern & Central Regions: The hub for large-scale grain production (wheat and barley), flour milling, and massive oilseed extraction operations. 

Investment Framework and Land Rules

Foreign investors can purchase physical non-agricultural property, but agricultural land plots cannot be held in private ownership by foreign entities. Land can, however, be acquired on the right of temporary land use through long-term leases for up to 25 years.
