In Kazakhstan, 3,287 farmers gained access to early financing for the sowing campaign

The implementation of the financing program for the spring fieldwork of the 2026 season is ongoing. The application process began on October 1, 2025, in line with the Head of State’s поручение to ensure the timely and high-quality execution of sowing operations. The final interest rate for agricultural producers is 5% per annum.

At present, a pool of 3,963 agricultural producers has been formed, totaling 556 billion tenge. So far, 3,287 applications have been financed for a total of 334 billion tenge, covering more than 4 million hectares of sown areas.

At the same time, a loan guarantee mechanism is being implemented through the Damu Fund, allowing up to 85% of the loan amount to be covered by guarantees. Currently, 753 guarantees have been issued for loans totaling 148 billion tenge.

Early financing enables farmers to prepare in advance for the 2026 sowing campaign. The funds are used to purchase fuel and lubricants at favorable prices, acquire mineral fertilizers, repair agricultural machinery, and build up necessary seed reserves.

Preferential financial resources are available both for preparing and conducting spring fieldwork, as well as for the harvesting campaign and covering seasonal expenses. Financing is provided through the branch network of the Agrarian Credit Corporation and partner financial institutions across the country, including second-tier banks, social-entrepreneurial corporations, credit partnerships, regional investment centers, and microfinance organizations.
