According to the Kazakhstan Investment Agency, a complex planned to produce 240,000 tons of RTC annually will be established near Almaty in Kazakhstan. The project has a projected price tag of $600 million and will be the largest in the Commonwealth of Independence States comprising eight nations formally part of the Soviet Union.

Given the projected volume corresponding to 2.5 million broilers of 4lb RTC the capital cost is unrealistically low for the stated level. Assuming the need for breeder farms, hatchery, growing houses, feed mill and processing plant following the Eurasian model, either the volume is overstated or the cost as reported is incorrect, even without a provision for land.
