About the same time, experts said at a regional agricultural conference.

The first Deputy akim of the region Hawes Nurmukhambetov noted that the volume of use of mineral fertilizers by households is insignificant. Moreover, many large agricultural enterprises simply do not contribute.

"This is one of the main reasons why over the last 5 years the yield of grain is practically not exceeding 12.5 t/ha. moreover, significantly decreased grain quality. In 2014, 10 percent of the grain received in the grain
enterprises were assigned to class 4, 2018 is 24 percent, more than in 2 times", — said Hawes Nurmukhambetov.

The official set the example of KKH "baby", which made fertilizer, and received from 1 hectare to 15 quintals of yield increase of grain. Given the cost of purchasing fertilizers farm even without taking into account the state
subsidies to make a profit. Speaking of subsidies. In 2019 for the acquisition and use of mineral fertilizers allocated 2.5 billion tenge of subsidies. This is two times more than last year.

In the spring of Kostanai oblast will plant 5 million 275 thousand hectares of land. Farmers in the region will continue to diversify the acreage. The focus will be on highly profitable export-oriented oilseeds. Their size will be 476 thousand hectares, it is 46 thousand hectares more than last year.

"Earlier I was ashamed to press hard on the manufacturers, because it was not processing. Now construct a modern huge complex of deep processing of grain worth $ 300 million. With the current volumes of oilseeds it will be idle or operate at low power. Why built? Then the agricultural producers in other areas will carry to us, they are going to process, it turns out", — was indignant the Governor of the region Arkhimed Mukhambetov.

The head of the region urged farmers to "not do what from year to year brings losses", and pay attention to the digitalization of agriculture and the diversification of sowing areas.
