Kazakhstan to Develop Winemaking

The Ministry of Economic Development and Trade of Kazakhstan proposes to include winemaking in the list of priority sectors under the Business Roadmap 2020 Programme, News-Kazakhstan Information Agency reports. Zhanar Aitzhanova, Minister of Economic Development and Trade, voiced the intent at the meeting of the unified coordinating council on entrepreneurship issues.

“Entrepreneurs raise the issue of listing winemaking into the catalogue of priority sectors so as to support domestic agricultural producers within the winemaking project, subject to making wine of domestic grape only,” said Ms. Aitzhanova.

She further explained that “winemaking was not on the list because it formerly was in the excisable product category subject to excise taxation”.

The Business Roadmap 2020 Programme was developed to implement the New Decade-New Economic Upturn-New Opportunities for Kazakhstan message of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan to the people of Kazakhstan, and the Strategic Plan of Development of Kazakhstan until the Year 2020.

The programme is one of the mechanisms to implement the State Programme for Accelerated Industrial and Innovative Development of the Republic of Kazakhstan in the years 2010-2014.

The objective of the programme is to ensure a sustainable and balanced growth of regional entrepreneurship in the non-primary sectors of the country’s economy as well as to maintain the existing and to create new permanent jobs.
