Tridge summary

Kazakhstan is setting a target to increase its farmed fish production to 270 thousand tons per year by 2030 by establishing over 1,000 new fish farms. The project includes breeding non-traditional fish species such as trout, tilapia, and African catfish. Since the start of the year, fish farmers have cultivated around 12 thousand tons of marketable fish, falling slightly short of their 12.8 thousand-ton target. However, fish catch volumes have increased by 3% compared to the previous year. The government is supporting this initiative by eliminating unnecessary requirements for fish farms and has approved 9 investment projects, attracting 3.2 billion tenge in private investment. Plans are in place to implement 32 projects by 2025, with an expected investment of 182 billion tenge.
