Media Expedition Across the Steppes
of Akmola Region Launches in Search
of the People’s Choice Livestock Breeder
Akmola Region, Kazakhstan — The organizers of the 10th Anniversary Specialized Field Demonstration Exhibition “Kazakhstan Field Day – Jańa Dala / Green Day 2026” have announced the launch of a unique media project. As part of the continued celebration of the Year of Working Professions, the organizing team has embarked on a tour across the districts of the Akmola Region. The mission of the expedition is to produce a series of exclusive short interviews with shepherds, livestock breeders, and horse herders.
Livestock herding is one of the cornerstones of Kazakhstan’s agricultural economy, yet it often remains behind the scenes. Today, more than 45% of the country’s total cattle population is raised on private household farms. The livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of rural families, as well as the region’s food security, depend directly on the tireless, around-the-clock work of these dedicated people of the steppe.
First Results and Route Overview
In just two days (June 25–26), the project team completed an intensive expedition across the Akmola Region, visiting six key districts:
- Atbasar District
- Bulandy District
- Burabay District
- Esil District
- Zhaksy District
- Zerendi District
Project Highlights
- Authentic Stories: A series of video interviews will showcase the real lives of modern livestock breeders, highlighting their daily routines, steppe traditions, resilience, and the continuity of generations.
- People’s Choice Voting: All videos will be published online, where viewers will have the opportunity to vote. Based on the public vote, the winner of the “People’s Choice Livestock Breeder” award will be selected.
- Special Prize: The winner will receive a valuable commemorative prize presented by the organizers of the Jańa Dala / Green Day 2026 exhibition.
Grand Finale at Kazakhstan’s Premier Agricultural Event
The project will culminate with the official award ceremony on July 16–17, 2026, during the 10th Anniversary Specialized Field Demonstration Exhibition “Kazakhstan Field Day – Jańa Dala / Green Day 2026”. The event will take place at the demonstration fields of Aktyk Agrofirm JSC in the village of Nuresil, Tselinograd District, Akmola Region.
In front of thousands of delegates, farmers, industry professionals, and international experts, the region’s People’s Choice Livestock Breeder will step onto the main stage to receive the award.
More than just a recognition ceremony, this moment will symbolize respect for the people whose dedication sustains Kazakhstan’s agricultural sector, while celebrating the connection between the timeless traditions of the Great Steppe and the innovative agricultural technologies shaping the future.
