Kazakhstan's food production experienced a 17.5% increase in value and a 3.6% real growth adjusted for inflation from January-August of this year, totaling 1.2 trillion tenge. The production was dominated by flour and cereal products, dairy items, processed and canned meat, and meat products. However, the domestic market is not fully provided for several goods including poultry meat, sausages, cheese and cottage cheese, apples, sugar, and fish, with the Ministry of Agriculture planning to increase production and saturate the market with domestic products. The production of fish, poultry meat, sausages, and cheese has seen significant growth, while sugar production has decreased. Domestic companies have met demand for processed and canned fish, crustaceans, molluscs, sausages, poultry meat, and cheese, but not for sugar.
