Agriculture as the Driver of the Economy: The Baibolsyn.kz Startup
Why does the term "kolkhoznik" carry a negative connotation in our society? Why are people leaving rural areas while millions are funneled through the agricultural sector? These questions inspired Abylaikhan Akhmetzhanov to raise the prestige of farming and turn agriculture into a driving force of Kazakhstan's economy.
Together with a Kazakh-Ukrainian team of young specialists, he founded Baibolsyn.kz — a platform for farmers, businesses, and other stakeholders in the agricultural market.
In an interview with ER10 Media, Baibolsyn Solutions CEO and co-founder Abylaikhan Akhmetzhanov shared how his solution works and the challenges faced by the industry as a whole.
«Baibolsyn.kz offers a digital platform that centralizes all the needs of farmers. Think of it as a hardware marketplace that brings together suppliers, manufacturers, services, and expertise. We don’t just connect parties but aim to create a critical mass of users to introduce new products and services. For example, we launched a livestock course to demonstrate the platform’s capabilities. This training covers everything from A to Z, with full transparency — no backroom deals or hidden conditions», — said Abylaikhan Akhmetzhanov.
