Two New Vegetable Storage Facilities to Be Built in Karaganda Region

The Karaganda Region continues to develop infrastructure for storing agricultural products. In 2026–2027, two new facilities with a combined capacity of 10,000 tonnes are planned to be commissioned in the region.

The expansion of storage capacity will help preserve harvested products, reduce seasonal losses and ensure more even supplies of vegetables to the domestic market throughout the year.

Currently, the Karaganda Region has 50 potato storage facilities with a total capacity of 112,000 tonnes. In addition, 35 grain storage facilities operate in the region, with a combined one-time storage capacity of 47,650 tonnes of grain.

Agricultural producers in the region continue to invest in developing their own infrastructure. In particular, Dostyk-2009 LLP is completing the construction of a modern vegetable storage facility designed to hold 6,000 tonnes of products. The facility is scheduled to be commissioned this year.

Another project is being implemented by the Yubileynoye farm. A potato storage facility with a one-time capacity of 4,000 tonnes is currently under construction. The facility is scheduled to be launched in 2027.

Once both storage facilities are commissioned, additional storage capacity in the region will total 10,000 tonnes. The new infrastructure will enable farms to manage agricultural product stocks more efficiently, reduce losses and ensure the sale of products during the off-season.

At the same time, agricultural enterprises in the Karaganda Region are developing their production infrastructure and introducing modern agricultural technologies.

The Shygys farm, located in the Karaganda rural district, previously built a grain storage facility with a capacity of 1,500 tonnes. The enterprise grows potatoes, wheat and barley.

The farm is currently planning to install a new irrigation system. Implementation of the project will make it possible to use water resources more efficiently, expand the area of irrigated land and increase crop yields.

Shamil Osin, head of the Shygys farm, noted that the enterprise intends to continue participating in the subsidy program in order to expand irrigated areas and improve production efficiency. According to him, state support enables the farm to modernize its operations, introduce modern technologies and increase production volumes.

The farm is also developing its livestock business. Construction of a farm designed to accommodate 1,000 head of cattle is continuing on its premises.

The total investment in the project amounts to 1.5 billion tenge.
