Poultry imports to the Republic of Kazakhstan in 2012 will be 30% less than this year's, according to the ministry of agriculture.
Nurlybek Malelova, the managing director of KazAgro - the country's largest agricultural holding - was reported commenting that the implementation of investment programmes currently underway to finance high-tech projects will not only cut imports but bring closer the possibility of exporting poultrymeat to third markets.
Growth in domestic production, which in the past few years was about 15% per year, will significantly cut import supplies – almost by 30% compared with the level of 2011. Nowadays the total volume of poultry import in Kazakhstan is about 100 thousand tonnes per year.
