Under the new law, NCE RK "Atameken" and the Ministry of Agriculture signed a Joint Action Plan for the development of agricultural cooperation with specific deadlines.

"For example, 55 small cattle breeders in the village Araltogay of Ayteke Bi district of Aktobe region united in the agricultural cooperative "Rahat +" for the organization of grazing, improve breeding by purchasing breeding bulls, centralized fodder and selling young animals (calves) at a bargain price to fattening sites.
