Jordan’s Alhusaini Group to invest US$85M in Kazakhstan’s poultry sector
The new breeding facility is to produce 100 million hatching eggs annually. The construction is set to begin in 2025 and conclude in phases by 2029.
KAZAKHSTAN – Jordan-based Alhusaini Group is planning to build a large-scale poultry breeding farm in Kazakhstan with an estimated investment of US$85 million.
The project was confirmed following a meeting between Kazakhstan’s Minister of Agriculture, Aidarbek Saparov, and representatives from Alhusaini Group, according to an official statement.
The planned facility will focus on producing up to 100 million hatching eggs each year, a move aimed at increasing national production capacity.
Construction of the site is scheduled to start in 2025 and will be carried out in several stages, with full completion expected by 2029.
Government officials say the farm will help reduce reliance on imported poultry products and could contribute to greater food availability within the country.
Around 70% of the eggs produced will be supplied to the domestic market, while the remaining 30% is intended for international distribution.
During the discussions, Minister Saparov emphasized the project’s relevance to the country’s agricultural plans and said the government would offer necessary support to ensure progress.
Collaboration with local partner
Alhusaini Group will work with Aitas KZ, a local poultry producer that already holds a major share in Kazakhstan’s chicken market.
The two companies are expected to jointly manage the development and operation of the facility.
Aitas KZ currently accounts for approximately 43% of the poultry supply in Kazakhstan and operates multiple farms across the country.
Its existing facilities include Makinskaya Poultry Farm, considered the largest in Central Asia, and Ust-Kamenogorsk Poultry Farm, the oldest such operation in the nation.
Aitas KZ also runs Nauryz Agro Breeding Poultry Farm in Almaty, which has the capacity to produce 80 million hatching eggs per year and is regarded as the largest of its kind in the CIS region.
This latest investment is expected to expand Kazakhstan’s production capabilities further and may lead to greater use of new technology in poultry breeding.
Officials say the project will contribute not only to food production but also to Kazakhstan’s position in the regional agricultural trade.
