Kazakhstan to expand preferential farm loans; 270 billion tenge in 2026

Kazakhstan plans to expand access to preferential loans for farmers and increase support for livestock breeding, Agriculture Minister Aidarbek Saparov said, according to Khabar 24, citing 24KZ.

For 2026, 270 billion tenge is earmarked for long-term financing of agricultural producers. A further 84 billion tenge is planned for livestock support, and 50 billion tenge for developing domestic agricultural machinery manufacturing.

In 2027, 200 billion tenge is planned to be attracted for preferential leasing of agricultural machinery, and an additional 50 billion tenge is proposed for purchasing farm animals. Saparov said combining budget and commercial funds will make long-term money more accessible and ensure timely financing even when cash on the treasury account is insufficient. He said the Baiterek holding should continue attracting extra-budgetary funds through a coupon reward subsidy mechanism and lending them to the agro-industrial complex.
