The FBRK editorial team continues to analyse the dynamics of Kazakhstan's largest land users in order to determine how much agricultural land has been withdrawn from them recently.
For context, we are receiving a large number of complaints from various regions that land is being withdrawn from small and medium-sized farms, while the work should have been directed at the territories of the latifundists.
The body directly responsible for this procedure is the Committee for Land Resources Management. After reviewing the territories of the Pavlodar Region, Kostanay Region, Akmola Region and the North Kazakhstan Region, we have concluded that there have been no significant changes in the areas held by the latifundists.
In connection with this, we are trying to understand in whose interests the CLRM is carrying out land withdrawals. In this article, we will begin to examine the land users of another grain-growing region – the Karaganda Region.
