| Summary: | Agriculture occupies a key position in
the Kazakhstan economy. Although accounting for only 5
percent of GDP, agriculture continues to employ almost one
third of the population. Studies of agriculture in
Kazakhstan confirm significant un-tapped productive and
export potential for the sector. Accordingly, agriculture
and the related industries have become a major priority in
the Government’s initiatives for promoting economic
development and diversification, including the 30 Corporate
Leaders program and the Industrial Map of Kazakhstan.
Improving the impact of budgetary policies in agriculture
represents a key objective for the successful transformation
of the sector. This includes both increasing the efficiency
of existing expenditures and restructuring those
expenditures with the goal of enhancing productivity and
competiveness. This is therefore, an opportune time for
critical review of budgetary expenditures and policies in agriculture. |
