The main task of the agricultural sector of Kazakhstan is to provide its population with food at the expense of its own production. The Republic has a high potential for dynamic growth and development. In the last two decades (2000-2020), the agriculture of the republic has been steadily developing. Growth in individual products is observed from 30% to 2.7 times. The number of livestock has increased by 1.5 to 2.5 times, depending on its type. All this contributed to a significant improvement in the food supply of the country's population compared to 2000-2010. However, for a number of products, especially potatoes, vegetables and fruits, milk, poultry meat and eggs, it was not possible to achieve or even approach scientifically sound nutrition standards. The share of imports for individual products remains high and exceeds the threshold level of 20% of imports in the capacity of the domestic market. The main reason is the insufficient level of agricultural production. Crop yields and livestock productivity remain low. Low labor productivity in the industry (7-8 thousand dollars) compared to developed countries (50-60 thousand dollars).
