En chiffres
With the support of the Kazakhstan Ministry of Agriculture, the construction of the country's first extruded fish feed production facility has begun. The factory, which will have an annual production capacity of 25,000 tons, is aimed at meeting the needs of the rapidly growing aquaculture sector and reducing import dependence.
The country's aquaculture sector has shown steady growth in recent years; approximately 23,000 tons of product were obtained in 2025, and this figure is expected to reach 64,700 tons in 2026. Since the sector requires approximately 72,000 tons of fish feed annually, the new facility will produce protein-based feed of critical importance, particularly for high-value species such as trout and sturgeon.
While Kazakhstan's fish market reached 106,500 tons in 2025, the state continues to provide tax incentives and financial support to the sector. Thanks to these supports, which aim to increase the added value of fish processing facilities, production is expected to increase to 2.5 times its current level by 2028.
