The volume of food production over the past 5 years has increased by 87% and in 2022 amounted to 2,914 billion tenge.

Food industry products are actively exported from Kazakhstan to the EAEU countries and neighboring countries. Thus, the volume of Kazakhstan's exports in 2022 amounted to 5.6 billion US dollars, which is 7% of Kazakhstan's total exports.

Also, over the past 5 years, foreign direct investment in food production has increased by 2 times, which indicates the high attractiveness of this industry for foreign companies.
