$85 Million Breeding Farm Project to Boost Kazakhstan’s Poultry Industry
Jordan’s Alhusaini Group has announced plans to invest $85 million in the construction of a state-of-the-art breeding poultry farm in Kazakhstan. With a projected production capacity of up to 100 million hatching eggs per year, the facility will significantly enhance the country’s poultry sector. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2025 and will be completed in stages through 2029. The project was discussed during an April 16 meeting between Kazakhstan’s Minister of Agriculture, Aidarbek Saparov, and representatives of Alhusaini Group, according to a government statement. A Strategic Boost for Agro-Industry The new facility is expected to play a key role in strengthening Kazakhstan’s food security and export potential. Approximately 70% of the farm’s production will be allocated for the domestic market, with the remaining 30% designated for export. Minister Saparov highlighted the strategic importance of the project for Kazakhstan’s agro-industrial development and reaffirmed the government’s commitment to supporting its successful implementation. Alhusaini Group, known for its ownership of Al Jazeera Agricultural Company and Al Sidra — both major players in poultry production — will partner with Kazakhstan’s Aitas KZ holding company to bring the project to fruition. Kazakhstan's Poultry Powerhouse Aitas KZ is one of Kazakhstan’s leading poultry producers, supplying around 43% of the domestic market. Its assets include Makinskaya Poultry Farm, the largest in Central Asia, and the Ust-Kamenogorsk Poultry Farm, the oldest in the country, with a combined capacity of 150,000 tons per year. Aitas KZ also operates the Almaty-based Nauryz Agro Breeding Poultry Farm, the largest in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), which produces up to 80 million hatching eggs annually for broiler chickens. This new investment is poised to elevate Kazakhstan’s standing in the regional poultry market and promote technological advancement in its agricultural sector.
