Purpose - to ensure the food security of Kazakhstan, domestic sugar industry should
aim at a significant reduction in import dependence and transition to self-sufficiency. The share
of domestic sugar from sugar beet in Kazakhstan is 7%.
Design/methodology/approach - review indicating the main problems in the sugar beet production
in Kazakhstan for the purpose of reimagining the domestic sugar beet industry to reduce
dependence on sugar import. We analyzed the dynamics of sugar beet cultivation in Kazakhstan
over the past 20 years and detected a sharp reduction in the sugar beet production.
Findings - we have identified 10 problems in sugar beet production in Kazakhstan and
determined the necessary targeted solutions. We consider the main direction to be the
development of scientific methodology for sugar beet production (breeding of new highly
productive disease-resistant cultivars, improvement of sugar beet protection system, efficient
crop rotation). The most notable problems included in this paper are small-scale marketability of
sugar beet farms, infectious diseases of sugar beet, water supply shortages, use of outdated
agricultural technologies, high cost of imported sugar beet seeds.
Originality/value - The present paper includes a full analysis of current problems in sugar beet
production in Kazakhstan.
