Issues related to the implementation of this investment project were discussed by Kazakhstan’s Minister of Agriculture Aidarbek Saparov and Chairman of the Board of Iskefe Holding Bilal Alkoç, the press service of the Ministry of Agriculture reported.
According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Iskefe Holding intends to begin the construction of the high-tech plant, which will have an annual production capacity of 7,000 tons, in 2026. The project is valued at 22.5 billion tenge.

Aidarbek Saparov added that to support the development of leather and wool processing, the government offers a wide range of support measures. These include investment subsidies, subsidies for shearing points, mobile complexes and equipment, payments to farmers for delivering wool for processing, tax incentives, and other measures.
Representatives of Iskefe Holding noted that the implementation of this project will have a long-term positive impact on the development of Kazakhstan’s processing industry, create additional jobs, and expand the volume of high value-added export products.
The Ministry of Agriculture of Kazakhstan reported that the country is currently working on 14 joint projects worth 1.1 billion USD, seven of which have already been successfully implemented.
It is worth noting that Turkey’s S Sistem Lojistik company also plans to develop a network of warehouse terminals in Kazakhstan. Furthermore, Turkey’s Tiryaki Agro Holding aims to launch an agro-industrial complex in Astana, which is expected to become the first facility in the country designed for the full-cycle, deep processing of grain and legume crops.
