Baiterek Holding Took Part in an Expanded Meeting on the Development of the Agro-Industrial Complex in the Turkestan Region

On 27 February 2026, an expanded meeting on the development of the agricultural sector of the region ahead of the spring fieldwork season was held in Turkestan. The event was attended by Deputy Akim of the Turkestan Region Nurbol Turashbekov, Managing Director of Baiterek National Investment Holding Niyaz Koshkimbaev, and Deputy Chairman of the Management Board of KazAgroFinance JSC Yerkebulan Zhumzhayev.

During the meeting, participants discussed the financing of spring fieldwork, leasing opportunities for agricultural machinery, and support measures for the region’s agro-industrial complex.

The Turkestan Region is one of Kazakhstan’s leading agricultural regions, accounting for 13% of the country’s total agricultural output, with an annual volume exceeding KZT 1.2 trillion.

“Support for the agro-industrial complex is one of the key priorities of Baiterek Holding. Through our subsidiaries — KazAgroFinance and Agrarian Credit Corporation — we provide farmers with accessible leasing and financing instruments. In 2025, total support for the agro-industrial complex across the Holding Group exceeded KZT 1.1 trillion. It is important that these resources reach every region, and today’s meeting is a good opportunity to directly hear the needs of farmers in the Turkestan Region,” noted Niyaz Koshkimbaev.

During the meeting, representatives of KazAgroFinance JSC reported on the results of support provided to farmers in the region and outlined plans for 2026. Since 2000, the company has invested approximately KZT 103 billion in the economy of the Turkestan Region, leasing more than 6,800 units of equipment. In 2026, KZT 19 billion is planned to be allocated to the region, with applications totaling KZT 7.1 billion already received.

Farmers were introduced to preferential leasing programs, including “Preferential Leasing” with an interest rate of 5–6% and a down payment starting from 0%, “Made in Kazakhstan” for domestically produced machinery at 6% for up to 10 years, “Own Feed” for forage harvesting equipment, as well as the “Agroleasing” program financed from the company’s own funds.

Special attention was given to the development of irrigation systems — a priority area for the water-scarce region. KazAgroFinance JSC plans to launch a new water-saving leasing program, including the leasing of sprinkler machines, loans for infrastructure development, and comprehensive financing of modern irrigation systems.

“We will continue to support farmers in the Turkestan Region. Your work is the foundation of our country’s food security,” emphasized Deputy Chairman of the Management Board of KazAgroFinance JSC Yerkebulan Zhumzhayev.

At the conclusion of the meeting, farmers had the opportunity to ask questions and present their proposals for further sector development.
