Research and production work should be aimed at solving these problems. Therefore, to begin with, it is very important to analyze the condition of agricultural land resources and outline ways to improve their use, taking into account the qualitative condition. Keywords: land resources, agricultural land, land valuation, quality condition of land, cadastral value of agricultural land, base rate, reactive income. 609 INTERNATIONAL FORUM: PROBLEMS AND SCIENTIFIC SOLUTIONS Introduction: The problem of rational use of lands extorts a wide range of activities.

    Analysis of Key Swot-Characteristics of Agri‐Business, Management and Land Use in Kazakhstan: the Case of Turkestan Region

    Academy of Entrepreneurship Journal Volume 27, Issue 5, 2021 ANALYSIS OF KEY SWOT-CHARACTERISTICS OF AGRI‐BUSINESS, MANAGEMENT AND LAND USE IN KAZAKHSTAN: THE CASE OF TURKESTAN REGION Yermek Anarbayev, Kazakh National Agrarian University Toleubek Pentayev, Kazakh National Agrarian University Dinara Molzhigitova, Kazakh National Agrarian University Ardak Omarbekova, Kazakh National Agrarian University Sholpan Omarova, Kazakh National Agrarian University ABSTRACT Agriculture is the main livelihood option for development of region of Kazakhstan, which is characterised by small land-holdings, upland terrain, traditional cultivation practices, extensive irrigation, poor water conservation measures, middle productivity, limited crop diversification and low yields of food grains. 53% of the population in Kazakhstan is concentrated in rural areas and the economy is mostly based on agriculture produce with very limited industrialisation. This paper aims to perform SWOT analysis of agriculture sector of Kazakhstan. The study has been carried out by conducting SWOT-review and analysis of key characteristics of agri‐business, management and land use in Kazakhstan in Turkestan region of Kazakhstan. It is found that agriculture sector is contributing a lot in region’s GDP and there are many areas in which agriculture sector needs to grow and establish itself as a primary mean of development. By adopting the proposed solutions, agriculture sector can be developed significantly, its imports will decrease and exports will increase. The strength of the district lies with favorable environmental conditions, availability of labor, availability of agricultural lands. The weakness of the district include inadequate financial services, over-reliance on climatic conditions, poor post-harvest management practices and market conditions. The negative ramification of climate change, weak links between research, markets, and policy, insufficient political will towards the continuity of programs are serious threats.

  • Proposal from the Nuclear Test Site Families Social Fund to Be Included Among the Recommendations of the Analysis of Compliance with the Aarhus Convention

    Proposal from the Nuclear Test Site Families Social Fund to Be Included Among the Recommendations of the Analysis of Compliance with the Aarhus Convention

    Proposal from the Nuclear Test Site Families social fund to be included among the recommendations of the analysis of compliance with the Aarhus Convention: Amend the subordinate legislation implementing Law No. 1787-XII of 18 December 1992 of the Republic of Kazakhstan on the Social Protection of Citizens Suffering from the Consequences of Nuclear Testing in the Semipalatinsk Test Site. Article 2 of the Law states: Article 2. Rights of citizens to compensation of damage to their health and property This Law applies to citizens living in the districts and towns/cities of Semipalatinsk Oblast and the corresponding districts of Pavlodar, East Kazakhstan and Karaganda Oblasts that have been exposed to radioactive pollution as a result of the testing of nuclear weapons. Citizens who have left these districts and towns/cities for a different place of residence but are covered by the scope of this Law and reside on the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan, should enjoy the benefits specified by this Law. However, this law is often breached in places that are not far from the districts affected; this applies first and foremost to Astana. Naturally, as Astana is the capital of Kazakhstan, people from the areas affected, and particularly from Pavlodar, East Kazakhstan and Karaganda Oblasts and their towns/cities, frequently move there. The Law calls these oblasts an ‘environmental disaster zone’ of international significance. We therefore believe that, in accordance with the Aarhus Convention, the Law applies to this case. We hence make the following proposal: On 4 September 2007 the social fund Nuclear Test Site Families was founded in Astana.
