Today, at a meeting of the Jogorku Kenesh, Bakyt Torobaev, who holds the position of Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Water Resources, Agriculture, and Processing Industry, urged dairy producers to focus on product quality rather than increasing volume.

According to Torobaev, farmers have the opportunity to take advantage of two types of subsidized assistance. The first option offers a loan with an interest rate of 3% for breeding purebred cows. If they do not wish to take out a loan, producers can receive purebred livestock seeds for free, which will help them raise cows that will produce twice as much milk.

He also noted that the approaches to pricing have changed since last year: while milk was previously purchased at a price of 35 soms per liter, now, depending on the fat content, factories can pay up to 51 soms. However, in spring, when cows transition to pasture feed, their fat content decreases, which affects the ability to receive high prices from buyers.

Additionally, it is worth mentioning that dairy producers previously demanded to establish a single price of no less than 40 soms per liter.
