In December, construction began on a 144-ha greenhouse complex in Shymkent's Karatau district, financed by Polish investor Fabe-Agro with a total budget of $137 million (69 bn KZT). The greenhouse has a planned annual tomato production volume of 38,000 tons.
According to the Ministry of Agriculture, the project aligns with national policies aimed at attracting investment into the agro-industrial sector. The ministry indicated that the project is expected to contribute to domestic supply and export-oriented production. State support mechanisms may be applied during the construction phase and the ramp-up to full production capacity.
