"We started from scratch and came to a production that is in demand among the population. We used the loan money to buy a dough mixer and an oven for 120 loaves. We bake up to 20 types of bakery products," Aida Meiramova shared.

Tamara Duisenova was also presented a regional exhibition of products produced by the participants of the project "Auyl Amanaty". During the conversation with villagers, Deputy Prime Minister noted the importance of the development of deep processing in production.

The best cases implemented in other regions were considered. Gizat Abiltai from Kyzylorda region shared his experience in project support with local socio-entrepreneurial corporations. Koskol village of Karatobe district of West Kazakhstan region was also presented as a model co-operative. In addition, the meeting participants were familiarised with case studies on effective food supply to schools, product processing and export.

"Rural akims work closely with the population on the ground. They should offer citizens the most effective measures of state support. Only in this case we will achieve the main goal - to improve the welfare of villagers. In addition to soft loans, the state provides grants for starting a business, subsidised jobs. Using all these opportunities, we can achieve good results," Tamara Duisenova emphasised.

Akim of Akmola region Marat Akhmetzhanov noted that state support measures are an effective tool for the development of agricultural business.

"In the region under the programme “Auyl Amanaty” projects of different directions - in the sphere of animal husbandry, sewing and leather production, manufacture of dairy and sausage products - have received financing. We explain to everyone what actions should be taken to open a business with maximum support from the state. It is necessary to move from consumption to production. This will give both jobs and profit. The budget should work for the benefit of the population," Marat Akhmetzhanov said.

Kazakhstan has introduced a system of labelling and traceability of medicines. This measure is designed to ensure the transparency of the movement of medicines from the moment they are imported into the country or manufactured until they are used in hospitals or purchased in pharmacies.

We need to strengthen work on early detection of diseases," Tamara Duisenova added.
