Kazakhstan plans to increase the profitability of its grain industry from 30% to 40% over the next four years

The new policy is the introduction of new state grants, the approval of new organic standards for growing wheat, which were without the necessary attention during the increase in the cultivation of corn and soybeans. The country also seeks to register 670,000 smallholder agricultural farmers in cooperatives, which will then be able to access subsidies. It seems like a great idea to redirect support from a large business and make it available to small farmers, assuming that they will contribute to improving the target profitability.

Organic products have become the hallmark of the month in Ukraine and Russia, as well as in Kazakhstan, which usually happens when politicians show an interest in agriculture and consultants and experts show them numbers, after which they cannot believe why more and more farmers did not remove sprayers and not turned into organic producers (this is because they do not have internationally recognized organic standards and the market is out of reach in Europe).

Kazakhstan, Ukraine and Russia appear toretain or increase agricultural subsidies at the same time that British farmers face a significant reduction or even cessation of financial support in general.
