The company's current capacity is 300kg of french fries per hour, but the company aims to increase this figure. The press service of the Ministry of Water Resources, Agriculture and Processing Industry informs about it.
During the field meeting, Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers - Minister of Water Resources, Agriculture and Processing Industry Bakyt Torobayev familiarised himself with the company's activity and challenges. The production line was launched in 2022, and potatoes for processing are mainly purchased from farmers in Naryn and Issyk-Kul oblasts.
Despite its successful development, the company faces problems in obtaining commercial loans with high interest rates to purchase additional equipment. During the meeting, the ministry was instructed to develop mechanisms to extend loan repayment terms and reduce interest rates to help the company overcome financial barriers and increase production capacity.
