By the end of 2012 Kazakhstan plans improve egg output by more than 5.26% by the end of 2012.

Meanwhile, the volume of poultry production should be up by 25% compared to the level of the last year - reported analytical agency "Kazakh-grain".

38 billion eggs were produced in 2011, and about 104,000 tonnes of poultry. In 2012, the volume of production is expected to be around four billion eggs and 130,000 tonnes of poultry.

It should be also noted that in Kazakhstan, six new poultry farms are currently under construction, and the commissioning of these projects will allow the industry to double production performance. This became possible due to the strong governmental support.

At the same time, there were a number of problematic issues to be resolved, which were announced on November 8 at the Kazakhstan First International Forum of Poultry Farming, held in Alma Ata, the capital of the country.

In particular, the producers pointed out that this year the subsidy standards for production of poultry meat increased, but this did not happen for egg production. Price rises of feed and other resources hamper the development of the egg industry.

Due to this the development, the egg industry will be much slower than the poultry meat production industry in 2012.
