Fifteen residents from the central Asian country of Kazakhstan toured UW-River Falls and visited World Dairy Expo in an effort to learn more about dairy farming. The group was made up of mostly farm owners and a couple of government officials. The Kazakhstan government wants to boost the dairy sector in that nation. Domestic dairy production fulfills just 25 percent of the nation’s milk needs, and country leaders hope to produce and process more of their own milk and rely less on foreign producers. Azamat Saginbayev is the CEO of the Kazakhstan Dairy Breeding Association. In an interview translated by Razak Bauyrzhan, Saginbayev tells Mid-West Farm Report about what he's learned.
