카자흐스탄 쌀 수출 시장 (11월, 2022)

Kazakhstan has seen a decrease of 8.7 thousand hectares in rice cultivation area due to water scarcity issues, particularly in the Kyzylorda region. This is attributed to the declining flow of the Syrdarya River and deteriorating collector-drainage systems, leading to soil salinization and a decrease in rice seed germination. The Ministry of Agriculture is considering the adoption of mechanized irrigation, optimizing crop rotation, and improving seed quality to mitigate water usage while maintaining yields and quality.
