Kazakhstan has adopted a number of decisions designed to stabilize the situation in the agro-industrial complex and prevent a shortage of products. Latifundist.com writes about it.

Thus, the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Kasim-Jomart Tokayev, instructed the government to suspend the disposal fee "ROP Operator" and then transfer this function to state bodies. He noted that entrepreneurs and in general have a lot of questions about the activities of a company called the ROP Operator. The President of the Republic of Kazakhstan stressed that it had reached the point where a certain public movement was organized against this private company.

“I instruct the government to take measures to stop the recycling fee and dispose of the recycling fee “Operator RPP”. This must be done by a state organization, as in foreign countries. As for the meeting itself, their rates should be reviewed. Nobody canceled the functions of the state for recycling, supporting the automotive industry and agricultural engineering,” the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan commented.

According to him, the state will continue to support the automotive industry and agricultural machinery.

“In addition, this issue needs to be discussed constructively with business and the public. The issue of providing buyers of domestic cars and agricultural machinery with vouchers at the expense of the recycling fee should be considered,” the report says.

In addition, the Eldala publication writes that from January 6, 2022, a ban was introduced in the country on the export of livestock for a period of 6 months, as well as some vegetables.

It is reported that the ban on the export of cattle and small cattle, potatoes and carrots was introduced in order to stabilize prices and to eliminate shortages in the domestic market.

It is noted that the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan will conduct daily monitoring and analysis of the current situation in the country. In the event of stabilization of the situation with regard to supplying the domestic market, the issue of lifting restrictive measures will be considered.

The Eldala publication also reported that the government of Kazakhstan, on behalf of the president, set marginal prices for retail sales of liquefied petroleum gas, gasoline and diesel fuel. Prices will be valid for 180 days.

Eldala also reports that Erbol Karashukeev has been appointed Minister of Agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan by decree of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan. It is noted that Yerbol Karashukeev in July last year was already appointed to the post of Vice Minister - Acting Minister of Agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan, after the former head of the Ministry of Agriculture Saparkhan Omarov resigned after criticizing the head of state.
