Poultry meat production is one of the most dynamic sectors of world agriculture, and poultry production is one of the fastest growing trends in the food industry. The growth of poultry meat production in the world is influenced by a number of factors: intensive methods of production, centralization and vertical integration of industrial production, profitability, constantly growing consumer demand and others. Poultry products are popular on all continents of the world, its consumption is not interfered by religious or ritual barriers, and poultry meat is the most affordable source of protein for all segments of the population. According to the report of the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) the volume of world poultry meat production in 2013 amounted to 85.4 million tons, increasing by 1.1 million tons compared with the previous year 2012. The average annual growth of world production of poultry meat in the period 2010-2013 was 2.4%. Diagram 1.

The difference in prices for chilled poultry of the Russian-made and imported frozen meat reaches about 30%. A large proportion of poultry meat production accounts for Central, Volga and Southern Federal Districts - about 60% of the total volume of all-russian raw material. In the structure of consumption of meat products by the Russians the poultry takes about 60% (2013-2014). Thus, for one Russian to 45 kg of poultry meat per year is accounted. Also it should be accounted that now there is a decline of pork supply, its replacement by chicken, turkey, duck and goose, etc. Imports of poultry meat (fresh and frozen) in Russia in 2013 amounted to 522.8 thousand tons. Including from abroad - 404.1 thousand tons, CIS - 118.7 thousand tons.

2. DOMESTIC MARKET 2.1 Poultry stock, production of poultry meat With the support of the state in the country in the field of agribusiness there is an increase in the number of poultry.

Forage produced by enterprises does not satisfy the requirements in terms of quality to requirements of existing poultry plants. Most poultry farms produce their own feed, because of differences in the formulation of poultry feeding on plants. Despite the growing production of poultry meat in the country, its consumption is increasing much more rapidly. The average annual growth of poultry meat production in the period 2010-2013 was 14.4 thousand tons, when the growth of poultry consumption was 29.0 thousand tons per year. By results of 2013 sales of poultry meat in the domestic market amounted to 303.5 thousand tons, decreasing by 3.3% compared with the previous year. While the share of imports accounted for 56% or 169.9 thousand tons. According to statistics data for 2013 consumption of poultry meat per capita in the country was 3.9 kg per year, but in the structure of the food basket, according to the minimum standards of consumption of basic food for the population of the Republic of Kazakhstan, including meat, poultry consumption is 5 kg per year. Thus, the actual consumption is below the minimum target of 22%. Diagram 14.

3. STATE SUPPORT OF INDUSTRY AND PROGRAMS FINANCED BY KAZAGRO HOLDING The main objectives of state policy in the poultry breeding industry are to develop own poultry production and import substitution. At the moment, the policy of state regulation of poultry industry development is implemented in the following forms: 1) State support in form of subsidies aimed at cheaper cost of forage and purchase of breeding eggs, hatching eggs and breeding day-old chickens; 2) Use of financial instruments supporting terms for renewal of main fixed assets equipment; 3) Special tax regime comprising 70% of the VAT exemption for agricultural enterprises of the industry; 4) Training of qualified personnel, the expansion of training under Bolashak program, provision of free courses for professional training, advanced training under program Employment-2020. In order to create conditions for the growth of production and reduce dependence on imports of poultry products, the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan developed master plan for the development of the poultry industry for 2014-2020. To achieve the objective the following tasks will be solved: Modernization of existing capacities to transfer for production of cooled poultry meat; Poultry meat production increase based on construction of new and expansion of existing poultry plants; Modernization of poultry plant of egg direction to increase production of egg powder; Increase of economic availability of breeding products and poultry production. In addition to the existing mechanisms of state support in the form of subsidies for the production of 1 kg, for the purchase of breeding eggs, hatching eggs and breeding day-old chicks, as well as exemptions from VAT implementation of objectives set out in the Master Plan will be carried out through the provision by the state of investment subsidies needed to reduce capital intensity and payback period of investment projects in the construction and modernization of poultry farms. Thus, the investment subsidy in 20% of the cost of investment project will be issued for construction of new poultry plants with production capacity of 20 thousand tons to 50 thousand tons of poultry meat a year, and the expansion of existing poultry plants to 26.8 thousand tons, and in amount of 20% for modernization of existing poultry plants to transfer to the production of chilled poultry meat. According to the calculations of the Master Plan in 2020 the proportion of chilled meat in the structure of poultry meat market will be 85%. 16

At that, the domestic poultry meat production will amount to 280 thousand tons, including chicken - 217 thousand tons, turkey meat - 22 thousand tons, other kinds of poultry meat - 41.0 thousand tons.

At that, level of import dependency will be reduced from 56% to 30%. Lending programs of KazAgro Holding In order to reduce import dependency and the development of export potential of the agricultural sector of the country, a subsidiary of the Holding KazAgroFinance JSC finances investment projects in 14 directions, including the construction of new and expansion of existing poultry farms. Totally under this direction, 13 projects were financed for production of poultry meat with a total production capacity of 86.7 thousand tons of meat per year. Of these, 400 17
currently 8 projects were commissioned with a total production capacity of about 50.0 thousand tons of poultry meat a year. Table 8. Main terms of financing for establishment of network and development of existing poultry plants from assets of the National Fund Item Construction and maintenance works Fixed assets Circulating assets Instrument loan Loan/leasing loan Term Up to 12 years Up to 5 years Co-financing from 15% of total project sum Rate 6% per annum Annual effective rate Up to 6,5% per annum Collateral required required/- required Payment of main debt не реже 1 раза в год Fee payment не реже 1 раза в квартал Grace period Up to 2 years Complete information on funding terms and requirements for potential borrowers are posted on the website of KazAgroFinance Joint Stock Company, http: www.kaf.kz. Experience in financing of projects to establish poultry plants shows an economic benefit and good profitability. For example, we present economic parameters based on a model project with production capacity of 20 000 tons of poultry meat a year. Table 9.

4. EXPERT EVALUATION Implemented state programs to support agribusiness create a favorable investment climate for development of the poultry business. Meat poultry breeding is one of the most promising areas of agribusiness. The presence of a significant volume of imports, projected growth in domestic consumption, opening additional niche for almost 100 thousand tons by 2020, provides opportunities for entry of new market participants. The introduction from 2014 of investment subsidies is intended to speed up the current pace of growth in domestic production, to increase the flow of private investment, to improve the attractiveness of new poultry plants for bank lending. An important factor in competitiveness for new and existing poultry plants will be the scale of production conditioning the level of expenses for product unit. Given the high competition in the market, for new participants it is recommended to run largescale productions with capacity of 20 thousand tons of meat per year. Larger businesses can also independently decide the matter of organization of breeding poultry production for domestic needs, which will reduce dependence on imports of breeding youth cattle and the resulting currency risks. When choosing a location for new productions it should be taken into account the presence of a stable food base, preferably in the regions that are less prone to drought. In general, meat poultry breeding is one of the most promising sectors of agriculture, having a large market potential and attractive return. 19
