The Government of Kazakhstan replaced its Minister of Agriculture on December 15, 2017. Two months later, the Ministry of Agriculture held its annual panel, reporting production outcomes from 2017 and presenting new policies in agriculture for 2018. The new Minister proposed changes in crop and livestock sector support by cancelling ineffective subsidies and promoting precision agriculture technologies. Steps have already begun to bring production and processing entities into cooperative structures, and other changes are expected in taxation and crop insurance.
