The Turkestan region is the leading center of greenhouse farming in Kazakhstan, home to 70% of the country's total greenhouse area. These facilities play a crucial role in supplying vegetables and flowers to both local and northern regions of the country.
One of the standout greenhouse farms is Agro Tur, located in Saryagash district. This modern agricultural complex specializes in growing vegetable seedlings such as tomatoes, cucumbers, cabbage, eggplants, and bell peppers, as well as flowers like roses and chrysanthemums.
The farm operates on 15 hectares, with 4 hectares dedicated to greenhouses. The project, valued at 1.2 billion tenge (€2.4 million), was launched in 2019 and has quickly become a key supplier in the region. Agro Tur can grow 3 million seedlings at a time, producing 12 million seedlings and 310 tons of vegetables annually.
The greenhouse complex is equipped with advanced Dutch technology, ensuring automated planting and crop management. One hectare is specifically outfitted with high-tech systems for seedling cultivation, while the sowing equipment was imported from Italy.
Agro Tur's production is distributed across the Turkestan region and northern Kazakhstan, helping meet the country's demand for fresh produce.
