ASTANA, Kazakhstan, March 10. Kazakhstan's
KazFelTec is planning to build a second wool processing plant in
the country, Trend
reports via the Ministry of Agriculture of Kazakhstan.
This was announced during a meeting between company shareholders
Asset Tleuov and Luca Querci, and Minister of Agriculture Aidarbek
Saparov
Preliminary estimates place the project cost at around $10
million. The plant is expected to be located in Astana or in
regions with a high concentration of small ruminant livestock, with
plans to create a network of collection, washing, and sorting
points.
“This will help reduce logistics costs for farmers and increase
the purchase price. If the wool undergoes primary processing
locally, we will be able to accept it at a higher price. In this
case, rural populations will have an additional source of income,
and livestock farms will be more motivated to develop sheep
farming,” said Asset Tleuov.
In late 2025, the first wool-based nonwoven material production
facility in Kazakhstan was launched in Aktobe. The plant’s
production capacity is 3,600 tons of wool processing per year.
