Development of the Meat and Dairy Area of the Procesing Industry in the Republic of Kazakhstan under the Modern Conditions

Summary/Abstract: The article reveals basic tendencies and dynamics of developing the meat and dairy area of the processing industry in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The provision of meat and dairy production with raw materials, dynamics of production, and changes of prices for raw materials, and ready products are analyzed. The meat and dairy production is strategically important for the Republic of Kazakhstan because it is one of those industries that provide the food security of the country. Due to the geographical position and natural and climate conditions, Kazakhstan has a rather high potential for developing this area not only to service the domestic market, but also to expand export. Cattle breeding and meat and milk processing are traditional for the Kazakh population. These types of activity were formed in the ancient times. That is why the development of cattle breeding and meat processing industry is a top priority task for Kazakhstan due to the rooted lifestyle and traditional nutrition.Due to the changing market conditions, under the impact of various factors, meat and milk processing enterprises suffer a crisis because volumes of the national raw materials are limited, production funds are not sufficiently modernized, and imported products are often cheaper. It is possible to successfully solve the existing problems only subject to joint work of agricultural producers, meat and milk processing enterprises and support of state authorities. The authors defined the main problems of the meat and dairy processing industry and showed the ways to solve them.
