Farms of the Republic of Kazakhstan: situational analysis, efficiency improvement

In the country's agro-industrial policy, much attention is paid to the development of farming and other types of agribusiness. Despite the growth of gross product production, the farming sector faces a number of systemic restrictions: weak resource base, insufficient sales infrastructure, low level of cooperation, insufficient access to information sources. The goal is to develop a holistic, structured model of stable dynamics of farms based on situational analysis and assessment of their internal reserves. Methods - when considering the current situation, comparing statistical data and identifying trends, logical-building relationships, systematizing sections, arguments. Data on the volume, efficiency, cost and sales structure of manufactured products were analyzed in 2020-2024. Results - the main obstacles to the promotion of farm entrepreneurship are outlined. A mechanism is proposed that includes four main areas: access to resources, active use of human capital, institutionalization of cooperation, ensuring access to the market and participation in market competition. Practical implementation mechanisms were proposed for each direction. The introduction of the proposed scheme of initiatives will increase the potential for a balanced progressive movement, expansion of sales channels for farmers and strengthening the role of small forms of agribusiness in providing food and employment to rural residents in the regions. Conclusions - effective implementation requires coordination of State Measures, development institutions and the producers themselves. Overcoming obstacles and a systematic approach will create the basis for turning the farming segment into a solid element, a reliable support for the agricultural economy of Kazakhstan. In the long term, this model can serve as a core for the formation of regional strategies and rural development programs, taking into account local characteristics and internal reserves.
