The FBRC editorial team continues to analyse the dynamics of Kazakhstan's largest land users in order to determine how much agricultural land has been seized from them recently.
Let us remind you that we have been receiving numerous complaints from various regions that land seizures are happening to small and medium-sized farms, while efforts should have been directed at seizing the territories of latifundists.
The body directly responsible for this procedure is the Committee for Land Resources Management. Having examined the territories of Pavlodar, Kostanay, Akmola, North Kazakhstan and Karaganda regions we concluded that no significant changes have occurred in the areas held by latifundists.
In connection with this, we are trying to understand in whose interests the CLRM is conducting the land seizure work. In this article, we will begin examining the land users of the East Kazakhstan region.
We have previously written that departments often provide us with incorrect data on land users. Note that the Department of Land Relations of the East Kazakhstan region inaccurately indicated the names of almost every company, which complicated the search for information. Despite this, we still managed to sort it out.
