The cost of the project will be about 16 billion tenge (US$ 36M, editor's note). Of these, 20-25% is invested by RFC, and the remaining funds will be obtained through loan financing.

We add that Kazakhstan maintains a high level of dependence on fish imports, so the Ministry of Agriculture has developed a three-year Comprehensive Plan to Support the Production of this Type of Food, which includes subsidies.
