East Hope Group invests $6 million in feed meal production facility with 100,000-ton capacity

In the village of Kazakhskoye in the Akmola region, the renovation of a grain complex is nearing completion, which the investor plans to use for the reception, storage, and processing of wheat. The project is being implemented by the Chinese East Hope Group, which has acquired the existing elevator and invested $6 million in its repurposing.

The agreement to complete the reconstruction was signed by the head of the Akmola region, Marat Akhmetzhanov, and representatives of the East Hope Group at the Kazakhstan-China investment forum in Almaty. According to the regional administration's press service, construction work is approximately 80% complete.

Production Parameters

Once at its full capacity, the facility will be able to produce up to 100,000 tons of feed meal annually. The updated complex will also receive and store grain, and its launch is scheduled for October 2026.

The facility plans to create about 30 permanent jobs. According to the press service of the regional administration, the necessary documents for starting production have been issued, and construction and installation work is proceeding according to schedule. The facility is expected to be commissioned by October.

Project Significance for the Region

The elevator is located in Kazakhskoye, at the heart of the agricultural belt of the region. The Akmola region is one of the largest wheat-producing areas in Kazakhstan. Regional authorities associate the project with the development of grain processing and the production of higher-value-added products.

"We are pleased that our Chinese partners have chosen our region for the implementation of such an important project. The Akmola region is one of the largest agricultural regions in the country, and the development of deep grain processing directly affects the country's food security," said Marat Akhmetzhanov. According to him, the modernized complex will not only store crops but also produce in-demand products up to 100,000 tons per year.
