The resource deficit could affect the country's agricultural sector over the next two years. During a meeting of the Committee on Agrarian Policy, Water Resources, Subsoil Use, Ecology and Environmental Protection, deputies discussed measures to ensure agricultural producers are provided with necessary materials.
Solutions to the deficit and plant construction
According to Asylbek Satybaldiev, Deputy Minister of Water Resources, Agriculture and Processing Industry, the government is already working to eliminate the shortage. Specifically, negotiations are underway with Russia and Uzbekistan. The Deputy Minister stated that the goal is to fully provide the missing volume of fertilizers by 2027.
In parallel with imports, the issue of establishing domestic production is being addressed. A fertilizer production plant is planned for the Nookat district, but its launch is delayed due to land issues.
"Previously, a land plot of several hectares was allocated for this plant in Nookat. However, company representatives say it is insufficient given the plant's large capacities, and adjacent plots are already leased. Local authorities are currently resolving this matter. Once resolved, the plant will begin operations."
Context
The issue concerns providing farmers with resources for their operations. In the Nookat district, where the plant is planned to be built, the matter of expanding the land plot is under consideration by local authorities.
