The entry into force of new subsidy rules in Kazakhstan opens the door for greenhouse farming. Now they can receive subsidies for electricity, coal and gas in the off-season, as well as for other resources that help increase productivity and product quality. Find out what opportunities are available for farmers and how this is impacting agriculture in the country.
New subsidy rules have come into force in Kazakhstan, which provide significant benefits to greenhouse farms. Farmers can now receive subsidies for electricity, coal and gas in the off-season, which is an important step towards increasing energy efficiency and increasing yields. Subsidies are allocated for one crop rotation of vegetable crops, the list of which and subsidy standards are approved by local akimats.
The decision to subsidize energy costs was made in winter, after farmers in a number of regions suffered from heavy snowfall. This measure has become a real salvation for farm greenhouses, providing them with access to the necessary resources during a critical period.
To receive subsidies, farm greenhouses must meet certain production standards, which is confirmed by a certificate of technology compliance. This certificate must comply with the national standard, which has been in effect since May of this year. All questions regarding obtaining a certificate can be discussed with the Committee for Technical Regulation and Metrology of the MTI RK.
It is not only energy resources that are subject to subsidies. Greenhouse farms can also receive subsidies for inorganic fertilizers, pesticides, biological agents (entomophages), biological products and irrigation water. This is an important step towards sustainable agriculture, providing farmers with the necessary resources to control pests and improve crop quality.
In addition, subsidies now apply to the costs of construction and expansion of greenhouse complexes. This means farmers can receive up to 30% of costs reimbursed, up from 25% previously. This encourages investment in the modernization and expansion of greenhouse facilities, which will lead to increased production and improved product quality.
The introduction of new subsidy rules in Kazakhstan is an important step towards promoting agricultural sustainability and development. Providing subsidies for energy, fertilizers, pesticides and greenhouse expansion provides farmers with the resources they need to run their businesses successfully. These measures not only increase crop yields, but also promote sustainable agriculture.
