This year, elite cotton varieties were sown on 2.5 hectares in the city of Arys, as well as in the Zhetysay, Sauran, and Ordabasy districts, following Chinese practices. This technology allows for a yield of 60–65 centners per hectare, conserving water, energy, labor resources, and mineral fertilizers. This is 2.5 times higher than the average in the region.

By 2027, it is planned to establish nine cotton clusters, which should eliminate dependence on cotton prices.

Recently, the Ministry of Agriculture signed another cooperation agreement with PepsiCo. Chips will be made from Kazakh potatoes under the Lay’s brand.
