COVID-19 in Kazakhstan

The COVID-19 crisis has led to severe disruptions in daily life and has had an untold, yet substantial, economic impact worldwide. Countries have had to develop comprehensive public health responses in addition to efforts to sustain and support economic health.

In the months since the Chinese government announced the appearance of the novel coronavirus, named COVID-19, in December of 2019, there have been over 2 million confirmed cases of the disease and over 137,000 deaths attributed to it.

As of April 16th, Kazakhstan has reported 1,362 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 17 deaths from the disease. The first cases of the virus in the country were reported to have come from Europe in mid-March. The country’s government promptly declared a state of emergency, canceling public events and holidays.

By March 19th, the country’s largest cities of Nur-Sultan and Almaty were placed under quarantine. These measures were extended to additional regions that were placed under similar lockdown measures.

Kazakhstan has also provided economic and financial support to companies whose business has been impacted and working citizens who have lost income during the state of emergency.

Kusto Group’s continued commitment to Kazakhstan

Yerkin Daniel Kunin Tatishev has previously declared that innovation can help the agricultural sector, which has come under increasing pressure worldwide, weather the coronavirus crisis.

In his analysis of how vital the agricultural sector is to the world’s economy, Tatishev cites media scrutiny over America’s food supply where concerns over conditions faced by agricultural works have spurred controversy and the UK government’s initiative to provide up to £250 million of financial assistance to help the industry “avoid collapse.”

New limits placed on wheat exports from Kazakhstan have also received considerable media coverage. The US Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue recently calmed Americans fearful over bare supermarket shelves saying the U.S. food supply "is strong, resilient and safe."

“It is in these challenging times,” says Tatishev, “that we should look to those innovations that even now are transforming the sector: precision agriculture, the use of data and digital tech, as daniel kunin kusto group well as new irrigation methods. Indeed, at this time, agricultural projects across the globe should be looking to accelerate these innovations.”

According to Tatishev, Kusto Group has taken efforts to ensure that its employees are safe and that its supply chains are as free from disruption as possible. In total, the group has more than 30 companies with 8,000 employees.

“Our experts at Kusto Agro, and our close partners at such organizations as Valmont Industries, are working harder than ever to make agriculture resilient to external threats. Longer term, when this storm passes, we can look forward to driving more efficient production and keeping the sector competitive for the future.”

Kusto Group and Tatishev’s charitable contribution, corporate policies, and business initiatives demonstrate the company’s continued commitment to the economic development of Kazakhstan and its people.
