The development of the agro-industrial complex, which receives special attention and support, is one of the most important tasks for our country. For confident and effective development, peasants need new high-performance machinery and equipment, and in this regard, KazAgroFinance JSC, the largest leasing company in the agricultural sector, has been providing serious support to farmers for more than 20 years.

According to the director of the Akmola branch of KazAgroFinance JSC, a subsidiary of KazAgro NMH Bulat Sabitov, in 2019, the Company’s investments in agricultural projects in the region exceeded 12.6 billion tenge, thanks to which over 390 units of modern equipment were supplied.

This year, despite quarantine and other restrictions, farmers in the region purchased 92 units of equipment worth 2.4 billion tenge, which are already working at full capacity in the fields and on farms.

ОOne of such farms is Tselina-Agro LLP in the Astrakhan region, headed by Nurzhan Nurbol Sarsentayuly. The company has been engaged in crop production since 2001, when the head of the family, Sarsentai Zhorgabaev, created the Tselina farm. Now his son Nurbol is in charge of all production and financial issues, who understands the importance of quickly and efficiently carrying out sowing and harvesting work.

“We plan to sow a little more than 7,300 hectares with wheat this year. For our region, this crop shows high levels of gluten and other quality characteristics,” says the young director. – Spring is early this year, but there are frequent rains, so we need to sow in a short time. To do this, back in the winter, under the Master Leasing program, we concluded a leasing agreement with KazAgroFinance for the purchase of one Kirovets-730 tractor and a KAMAZ vehicle. In total, thanks to our long-standing cooperation with KAF, we have purchased six Vector combines, two Kirovets and a set of seeders, and in the fall we plan to buy a wide-cover sowing complex for the future sowing season.

Great assistance is provided by government programs for subsidizing interest rates and investment subsidies, designed to help peasants in reducing the credit burden, stimulating and intensifying the renewal of the equipment fleet. Subsidizing the interest rate allows you to reduce interest payments by 10%, and you only have to pay seven percent, and investment subsidies cover up to 25% of the cost of purchased equipment.

The Company pays special attention to attracting new borrowers and expanding its client base.

“Today we cooperate with about 620 farms in the region, and annually the number of agricultural entities that apply for financing for the first time is 30-40,” continues Bulat Sabitov. – Not every peasant has a good collateral, but we finance with a minimal advance and without collateral. In recent years, we have been practicing paying an advance payment using investment subsidies, when, after approval from us, the client submits an application for subsidies in the Koldau database and then a leasing agreement is concluded.

The head of the Landys farm enterprise, Otto Landys, and the director of Astra-2010 LLP, Sergey Sharga, who decided to purchase equipment through KazAgroFinance JSC for the first time this year, are pleased with the favorable financing conditions and support measures.

“Our farm is small, only 700 hectares in the Zerendinsky district, and all the time we worked on old, 10-15 year old equipment,” says Otto Ottovich. – This year we leased a new Axion tractor with a Partner sowing complex and a Vector-410 combine. As soon as sowing began, we immediately felt the advantages of new and modern equipment - precise adjustment, reliable operation, fuel economy, operator comfort. I am sure that in the fall this will have the desired effect, and the new combine will allow you to harvest the crop quickly and without loss.

This year, the area of ​​spring sowing in the Akmola region will be 4.9 million hectares, of which 4.4 million hectares will be occupied by grain crops, and sowing is planned to be completed within the optimal time frame - 20-25 working days. KazAgroFinance JSC provides all possible support to agricultural producers during this busy period to successfully carry out the sowing campaign and obtain high yields.
