a providing at the expense of self-produced main types of the food of all population in case of an obligatory priority of the most vulnerable, its needy layers and on condition of physical and economic product availability of a food in such quantity and quality which are necessary for preserving and maintenance of life and the capacity to act of the person complete or the greatest possible independence of the state from external sources of the food as food security.

state impact on agrarian sector of national economy
It is necessary

to understand system of legislative, administrative and economic influence of the state as state regulation of agro-industrial production on production, conversion and sale of agricultural products, raw materials and the food.

agricultural industry on the amount of 753,7 billion tenge, including,

plant growing products – 421,2 billion tenge, animal husbandry – 332,5 billion tenge. In comparison with 2000, the production volume of agricultural products increased by 1,8 times. The provided data witness that the agrarian sector of economy of the Republic left crisis and entered growth stage.

of Kazakhstan according to the statistics witness that this growth

can't be considered steady as during the period from 2002 to 2005 decrease in production volumes of the main export culture of the Republic – grain (including, wheat) took place.

2001 (15,9 million t) and in 2002 (16 million t),

exceeded threshold, from the point of view of ensuring food independence of the country, level of 1 ton of grain per capita (1072 and 1076 kg, respectively), in 2005 were collected only 12,4 million t (824 kg).

foodstuff is irrational. The majority of the major food is

consumed in much smaller quantities, than it is provided by scientifically reasonable regulations. So, fish and fish products it is consumed 2,2 times less, than on regulation, eggs – by 2,7 times, vegetables and melon cultures – by 1,8 time, milk and dairy products – by 2,1 time, meat and meat products – by 2,2 time, sugar – by 1,4 time, potatoes – by 1,6 times.
In case of the problem resolution of ensuring food security of a close attention questions of self-sufficiency of the country main types of food deserve.

first of all, by internal deliveries in case of the

minimum dependence on foreign trade.
For achievement of self-reliance of the country by the food it is necessary to perform production of high-quality products in the amounts, allowing to meet the need requirement of the population for it at threshold level at the prices guaranteeing availability of the majority of products for all social national groups in all territory of the country. Thus, it is necessary to consider that statement of a question of self-reliance of the country the food at all doesn't mean a rate on an autarchy and isolation from the world market. The world practice developed a number of important and reliable approaches to the solution of the called problem, among them – flexible and effective protection of domestic producers, regulation of the ratios, the food allowing all import which possibilities of production in the country are extremely limited or in general are absent, to cover with export of such food which production is more effective.

grain 82,4%, to meat - 59,8%, to milk – 74,3%,

to eggs – 52,7%, to potatoes – 137%, to vegetables and melon – 124%, to fruits, berries and grapes – 17,7% .
The highest level of self-reliance was reached on potatoes which actual production per capita for the fifteen-year period (1990-2004) by 13 times (except for 1997 and 1999) exceeded a consumption existing rule. Since 2001, in-house production of vegetables and melon cultures also exceeds the standard consumption level established in the Republic. At the same time, since 1992 the Republic from the self-providing turned in importing on milk.

efficiency of functioning of agrarian and industrial complex and providing

on this basis of food security of Kazakhstan, development of system of the wholesale food markets providing effective integration of all accounting entities of agrobusiness, from producers to consumers of agricultural products, raw materials and the food is priority.
