In response to questions from parliamentary deputies, Serzhek Zhumankhalin, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Economy of Kazakhstan, said that the area of sunflower seed cultivation is expected to reach 1.4 million hectares this year. In his reply letter, Serzhek Zhumankhalin wrote: It is planned to increase the area of oilseed crops to 3.3 million hectares, of which the area of sunflower seed cultivation will reach 1.4 million hectares by adding 121,200 hectares of sowing area. It is worth noting that according to the data of the National Land Planning Institute, 29.9 million hectares of land in Kazakhstan have been degraded, resulting in a 17% decrease in soil fertility and an increase of 35-37% in the area of salinized land in irrigated farmland. As for the issue of reducing the area of arable land, we are mainly concerned with reducing the area of cultivation of some wheat varieties and crops that consume a lot of water. At the same time, it is planned to expand the area of cultivation of high-yield crops such as oilseed crops, horticultural crops and fodder crops. The minister said. According to the Deputy Prime Minister, 2.6 billion tenge has been allocated for oilseed crop subsidies in 2024.

A factor in the spread of sunflower diseases is the trend towards less deep tillage. Crop residues remain on the soil surface and harbor pathogens.

In 2025, the area under oilseed crops in Kazakhstan will reach 3.3 million hectares, of which 1.4 million hectares will be sunflower. This is 121.2 thousand hectares more than last year. This was reported by Deputy Prime Minister - Minister of National Economy Serik Zhumangarin. According to him, the expansion of crops is associated with the implementation of the state task of doubling the volume of gross agricultural output. Active work is underway to diversify the structure of sown areas. The main focus is on reducing monocultures, such as wheat, and water-intensive crops - rice and cotton. Instead, areas for highly profitable crops are being increased: oilseeds, vegetables, melons, and forage. Comprehensive government support measures are used to support farmers: subsidies for the purchase of seeds, fertilizers and plant protection products; reimbursement of part of the costs of products sent for processing; investment subsidies for the purchase of machinery and equipment. ...
