Akplas, a leading Turkish manufacturer, has announced plans to produce modern irrigation systems for agriculture in Kazakhstan’s Kyzylorda region.
According to a report issued by Kazakh Invest, agreement on the project was reached during the Turkish company’s visit to Kazakhstan on 11 May.
During their meeting, organized with assistance from Kazakh Invest, representatives of Akplas discussed the implementation of the project with Kyzylorda’s executive bodies and inspected the site earmarked for the build of the factory.
Expected to be commissioned in early 2025, the first stage of the project will cost around $10 million, followed by a further investment of some $50 million.
