Only those who really want to develop land should possess land - S. Manatov
TARAZ. KAZINFORM - Head of "Manat" farm in Zhambyl region Sakha Manatov has been growing cucumbers, wheat, barley, corn, beet for a long time already.

The state offers preferential conditions when the price of the land reduces by 50%, and it is easy to change the intended purpose of a land. We do not have to afraid that foreigners can take passion of lands. I have never seen a line of foreign investors ready to invest in the agricultural sector, I am looking for those myself," S.
