en.Wedoany.com Reported - A deep-processing project for oilseeds is advancing in the village of Predgornoye, East Kazakhstan Region. Altyn Shyghys LLP is building a modern vegetable oil refining and deodorization workshop on the basis of its existing oil plant. The project investment exceeds 5 billion KZT and is planned for completion and commissioning by the end of the fourth quarter of 2026.
The project has currently entered the equipment installation and commissioning phase. The main process equipment has been installed, and startup and commissioning work is underway on site to prepare for subsequent continuous production. Once completed, the workshop will fill the company's capacity gap in the deep processing of vegetable oil, extending its operations from oilseed pressing and crude oil production to refining, deodorization, and by-product processing.
Upon reaching full capacity, Altyn Shyghys will be able to produce up to 160,000 tons of refined vegetable oil and 1,300 tons of lecithin annually. The refined vegetable oil can be used for edible oil, food processing, and related industrial applications, while lecithin is a high-value-added product in oil processing, widely used in food, feed, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and other industrial fields. For vegetable oil enterprises, lecithin products help improve the comprehensive utilization rate of oilseeds and expand the product mix.
East Kazakhstan Region is one of the key oilseed processing areas in Kazakhstan. The region has a foundation for cultivating and processing oil crops such as sunflower, rapeseed, flax, and soybeans, offering significant potential for extending the vegetable oil industry chain. After Altyn Shyghys builds the refining and deodorization workshop, it will further increase the local processing ratio of oilseed raw materials and reduce dependence on single primary processed products.
The project will also create 49 new jobs. With the commissioning of the new workshop, the company will need to staff positions in production operations, quality control, equipment maintenance, warehousing, logistics, and management, driving demand for local processing, manufacturing, and supporting services. For the village of Predgornoye and the surrounding areas, this agricultural product deep-processing project is not only related to the company's capacity expansion but also to farmer sales, regional employment, and logistics support.
Vegetable oil refining and deodorization are crucial processes for improving the quality of edible oils. Refining removes impurities, gums, free fatty acids, and off-flavors from crude oil, while the deodorization step further enhances the oil's odor and stability. After the workshop is commissioned, the company will have a more complete product processing chain and will be able to supply the market with higher-value-added refined oil products.
The subsequent focus of the project will be on commissioning progress, trial production stability, raw material supply, and sales channel development. If the workshop is commissioned as planned by the end of the fourth quarter of 2026, Altyn Shyghys will establish a more comprehensive vegetable oil deep-processing capability in East Kazakhstan Region, driving the local oilseed processing industry to extend from raw material handling to products such as refined oil and lecithin.
