Astana. September 8. Kazakhstan Today - Kazakhstan government approved the program project on light industry development for 2010 - 2014, the agency reports.

According to Vice Minister of Industry and New Technologies of Kazakhstan, Berik Kamaliev, "the expected results from implementation of the program by 2014 will be: the increase in the total added cost of light industry by 50 %, meeting the requirements of the home market light industry production at 30 %, and the increase of labor productivity up to 5 million KZT a year."

According to B. Kamaliev, "the situation in the domestic industry is characterized by reduction of production volumes, an increase in import of manufactured production, and export of traditional raw materials mainly rough leather."

The most important problems of this industry are deterioration of fixed capital, a low share of export, an insignificant share of consumption of domestic production, and shortage of skilled workers.
