Proposals have been prepared for improving the system of state support for the industry, which will be aimed, first of all, at simplifying its mechanisms and optimizing directions, ensuring equal accessibility for all entities, regardless of the size and form of business, Kazakhstan’s Agricultural Minister Yerbol Karashukeyev said, Trend reports via Kazinform.

“Besides, a norm is introduced, according to which the recipients of subsidies shall take counter-obligations to achieve specific indicators," he also noted.

According to him, the proposals are currently being considered by a working group created to improve the efficiency of state support for the agro-industrial complex.

“The working group has included representatives of industry associations and unions, agribusiness, science, interested state and local executive bodies, as well as MPs of the Senate and Mazhilis [upper and lower houses] of the Parliament. To date, three meetings of the working group have taken place,” the minister further said.

“Based on the results of the working group meetings, a large number of proposals and comments to the new system of subsidizing the agro-industrial complex were received from regions, industry unions and associations, members of the working group,” he emphasized. “The proposals and comments are systematized and, if justified, will be taken into account when improving the subsidy system. Following the results of the working groups in March 2022, the final package of amendments to improve the subsidy system is planned to be submitted to the government for consideration.”

“Along with the above, the ministry has developed a unified integrated state information system of subsidies. Information system services for recipients of subsidies will be free of charge. We are currently launching its pilot testing in the Akmola region,” Karashukeyev said.
