and robust agricultural potential with lands suitable for both livestock and grain production.
Kazakhstan dynamic economic growth
Executive summary
 Growing demand in regional and domestic markets for higher value and quality food products of packaged
food, branded products and retail private labels is an outcome of Kazakhstan’s growing economy and
increasing disposable incomes;
 Kazakhstan has a potential of a springboard for expanding into the entire Central Asian, Caucasus, China and
India regions with combined GDP of more that USD 16 trillion, acting as an agricultural hub for the macro
region;
 Attractiveness of the end-consumer market as Kazakhstan represents a relatively large mid-income market
with GDP per capita of USD 12,950 in 2014 corresponds to that of most of the benchmark countries.
Kazakh potential in agriculture
 Strong potential for the development of agribusiness in Kazakhstan due to country’s considerable land
resources, as Kazakhstan has the world’s 12th largest arable land area, and fifth in the world in terms of
pastureland of 182.2 million hectares, but it uses only about 30% of the pastures;
 Kazakhstan plays an important role in ensuring food security in Central Asia. Taking into account the
interaction within the Organization of the Islamic food security, the possibilities of Kazakhstan in this area will
increase significantly;
 Agricultural development program “Agribusinesses 2020” includes state support directed at small, medium
and large farms to improve their effectiveness and develop the sector as a broad level;
 The special program of Plan of the Nations “100 Steps” is being implemented to address the problem of
livestock forage and crop production as well as specifically highlights importance to improve the quality of
the meat and dairy goods.

Investment hypothesis
 Kazakhstan is one of world’s main exporters of wheat and flour
 Vast farmland and access to raw agricultural products offer investors an opportunity for supplying and
providing the market with processed high-margin food products
 As the agriculture in Kazakhstan is highly extensive, with fertilizer consumption growth, yields per hectare
should increase, offering investors an opportunity for further development
Contact
 All producers in this market are relatively small, can be consolidated and scale advantages can be
achieved
