Currently, in the structure of the domestic fleet of agricultural machinery, more than 55% is occupied by machinery with a service life of more than 17 years.
"The use of worn-out equipment by seed farms leads to a surplus of fuel and electricity in the amount of 1.1 billion per year KZT. In addition, the worn-out technique increases the traumatability of seeds by 4-10%, depending on the type of crop, reduces their germination by 6-15% yield of conditioned seeds to 10% and worsens seed yield to 50% (tons / hour)", - First Vice Minister of Agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan said.
