In Aralsk, two new production facilities have opened simultaneously: a plant producing premium food salt and an enterprise manufacturing dry camel milk powder. Both projects were implemented with the participation of private investors and are expected to help increase the region's export potential and create new jobs. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Kursiv Media.
Regional head Murat Yergeshbayev noted that the launch of the new enterprises will be an important step in the development of the region's industry and economic diversification.
"I congratulate everyone on the official opening! I express my sincere gratitude to the private investor for implementing such an important project in the Aral district. This is a significant project that will contribute to the development of the country's export potential and the creation of new jobs. I am confident that the opening of new production facilities will provide an additional impetus for diversifying the economy and improving the quality of life of our residents," said Murat Yergeshbayev.
The first to start operations was the plant of Togys – Aralotyn LLP for the production of premium food salt. 1.8 billion tenge was invested in the construction of the enterprise. Its capacity is 40,000 tons of products per year, and 20 permanent jobs have been created. The salt produced will be supplied both to the domestic market and for export to neighboring countries.
Also in Aralsk, a plant of the company Kazakh Camel for the production of dry camel milk powder worth 3 billion tenge opened. The enterprise will be able to produce about 400 tons of products per year, and 23 people will get jobs there.
Production will require up to 20,000 liters of camel milk daily. This will allow local livestock breeders to regularly supply raw materials and receive a stable income. A long-term contract for the export of products to China has already been signed for a period of 10 years.
The akimat noted that in the next three years, 48 investment projects worth a total of 1.9 trillion tenge are planned to be implemented in the Kyzylorda region. They are expected to create more than 10,000 new jobs. This year alone, the region plans to put into operation 21 projects worth a total of 100 billion tenge.
