One of Kazakhstan’s largest potato storage complexes has opened in the Iliysky district of Almaty region, with 26,000 tonnes of total capacity across 16 sections equipped with 1,700 European-standard crates each, local outlet Ogni Alatau reported on 19 October 2026.
The 17,450-square-metre facility can keep potatoes for 10 to 12 months and was built by TOO «Dobry Product», part of the Tekhnovid Global group, with a 2.9-billion-tenge guarantee from the Damu Entrepreneurship Development Fund. It is designed to supply raw potatoes to PepsiCo’s plant in the city of Alatau and to help build a regional strategic reserve of socially important food products.
