Below are the prices of the most affordable and most expensive agricultural machinery on the country's market. The average data is taken into account in the analysis, since the cost of equipment depends on many factors - power and configuration. |
TRACTORS The most affordable tractor in the middle class can be considered "Belorus" (MTZ). Its cost is based on the area 7,4-8 million tenge. Models of these tractors are produced in Kazakhstan at three sites: SemAZ LLP, LLP "KAIK" и "Composite Group Kazakhstan" LLP. |
| The broad competition in the segment is JSC "AgromashHolding KZ" with a relatively new brand for the country "LOVOL". Notable in the produced line is the lightest and most affordable tractor in its class, LOVOL 354, which is located in the area 4,2 million tenge. The most expensive brand on the market is "John Deere" with the B series of tractors (6110, 6135), the cost of which is noticeably higher - 18-34 million tenge. ENERGY-POWERED TRACTORS Among the powerful tractors in Kazakhstan it is worth noting "KIROVETS", the production of which is established in Kostanay Tractor Plant LLP. Order cost 45-52 million tenge allowed Kirovets to take 60% shares of energy-rich tractors in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The analogue from "Buhler", the price of which is in the area 65 million tenge.

| COMBINES Prices for new combine harvesters in Kazakhstan start from 45-49 million tenge. The most affordable equipment is presented from KazRost Engineering Ltd (Vector, Acros) и JSC AgromashHolding KZ (Essil). The highest cost is indicated in the dealer price list "John Deere". Thus, imported combine harvesters will cost farmers approximately 95-140 million tenge. It should be noted that to renew the fleet of agricultural machinery in Kazakhstan, there is an investment subsidy program that provides for reimbursement of 25% of the cost of purchased equipment, both Kazakhstan-made and imported (regardless of the cost of the equipment). If we take into account the statistics of agricultural machinery sold in the country over 2019 year, then from 3 394 units import takes only 26%.
