Kazakhstan Unveils Central Asia’s First Automated Camel Milking Plant

Kazakhstan has inaugurated its first automated camel milking facility in the Kyzylsygyr region. The plant, initiated by Nurlan Yermekbayev, is the first of its kind in Central Asia and aims to produce up to 400 tons of camel milk daily.

The facility currently houses 100 camels but plans to expand to 2,000. It uses automated systems for stress-free milking and adheres to strict hygiene standards. The milk produced is used in various industries, including food, cosmetics, and medicine, with the region eyeing the export market.

The plant is sustainable and energy-efficient. It sources water from a deep well and uses solar power, making it a pilot project for digitizing Kazakhstan's agricultural sector. The facility has created 15 local jobs and will generate 10 more once fully operational.

The automated camel milk farm in Kyzylsygyr, led by Nurlan Yermekbayev, marks a significant step in Kazakhstan's agricultural modernization. It not only produces camel milk for diverse industries but also creates jobs and promotes sustainable practices, paving the way for further digitalization in the sector.
