China's East Hope Group to open 100,000-tonne feed plant in Kazakhstan's Akmola region

China's East Hope Group is converting a grain elevator in Kazakhskoye village, Akmola region, into a 100,000-tonne feed production facility at a cost of US$6 million, with launch planned for October 2026.

China's East Hope Group is set to open a 100,000-tonne annual capacity animal feed plant in Kazakhstan's Akmola region in October 2026, according to a report published by eFeedLink on 30 September 2026.

The project, valued at US$6 million, involves the conversion of an existing grain elevator in Kazakhskoye village into a facility capable of storing and processing grain into feed meal. The choice of a pre-existing grain storage structure suggests a lower-cost route to establishing production capacity in the region.

East Hope Group, one of China's largest privately held conglomerates with significant interests in animal feed and agribusiness, has been expanding its footprint across Central Asia. Kazakhstan, with its substantial grain production base and growing livestock sector, has attracted increasing attention from Chinese agribusiness investors in recent years.

No further operational or financial details beyond the project cost, capacity, and planned launch date were provided in the source report.
