Kazakhstan continues its nationwide feed harvesting campaign in preparation for the upcoming winter housing period for livestock. According to operational data from regional authorities, as of August 5, agricultural producers had prepared 19.8 million tonnes of feed. This represents approximately 77% of the planned hay harvesting target.

So far, the country has harvested 17.1 million tonnes of hay, 1.5 million tonnes of haylage, 362.3 thousand tonnes of concentrated feed, 91.7 thousand tonnes of silage, and 777.2 thousand tonnes of straw.
