Ualikhanov Kokshetau University, Kazakhstan Gulnar K. Joldasbayeva Almaty Technological University, 100 Tole bi str., Almaty, 050012, Kazakhstan Journal Article 2026 04 17 Deep processing of agricultural products is crucial for developing Kazakhstan's agro-industrial complex and boosting the value of its agricultural commodities. Based on official statistics from Kazakhstan's Bureau of Statistics and using comparative and structural analyses, this study reveals the country's substantial raw material potential, particularly in cereals, oilseeds, and livestock. However, processing depth remains inadequate for several key commodities. Promising areas for growth in the processing industry include starch products, vegetable oils, dairy products, and processed fruits and vegetables. https://cjes.guilan.ac.ir/article_9553_26525b40cdbe7227dafcb3d20494d0aa.pdf
