Kazakhstan plans to double funding for livestock in 2022
According to the plans of the Ministry of Agriculture, this year it is planned to allocate more than 49.6 billion tenge from the budget to create conditions for the development of animal husbandry. In 2021, the amount of funds was 23.3 billion tenge.
Due to these measures, the production of relevant products will also be improved, as noted in the ministry. This, in turn, should ensure food security and increase the export of animal products. 12.8 billion tenge will be directed to the diagnosis of livestock. For another 11 billion tenge, hotbeds of acute and chronic infectious diseases of animals and birds will be eliminated.
25.4 billion tenge will be allocated to subsidize the development of livestock breeding. As a result, an increase in the proportion of breeding stock and the volume of livestock production (beef, milk and poultry meat) is expected.
This measure in 2022 will cover 53.4 thousand head of cattle, 2 million marketable sheep, 4.4 thousand pigs. In addition, money will be allocated for the purchase from abroad of 16 thousand heads of cattle, 156.4 thousand breeding sheep, 2.2 million daily breeding poultry, 100 pigs. In addition, biomaterial will be purchased to increase the number of livestock and the maintenance of animals will be maintained.
