Deputy Minister of Agriculture of Kazakhstan Talasbek Kanafin and General Director of Rostselmash Alexander Vinogradov discussed expanding the localization of agricultural machinery production. Cooperation has been developing since 2019 at enterprises in Kokshetau — the joint venture "Kazrost Engineering Ltd." and LLP "Kazakhstan Agro Innovation Corporation" (KAIC). Total investments have exceeded $35 million, with 350 employees. Production has been localized for grain harvesters VECTOR 410KZ, ACROS 550, ACROS 595 Plus, T500, and the Rostselmash 2400 tractor.
In 2023, 536 harvesters and 168 tractors were produced; in 2024, 653 and 193 respectively. As of the end of 2025, over 600 units of equipment were produced, and in the first five months of 2026, over 280 units. The parties confirmed their intention to continue deepening localization, developing service infrastructure, and implementing digital solutions.
