The sown area of ​​soybeans in Kazakhstan is constantly growing. In 2019 it amounted to 138.9 thousand hectares. The leader in the cultivation of soybeans is the Almaty region, where 107 thousand hectares were sown last year. In recent years, the tendency to expand the cultivated areas is towards the north (about 20 thousand hectares) and east of Kazakhstan (7 thousand hectares), although there is a large unused potential in the south-east of the republic. In the Zhambyl region, the soybean acreage in 2019 amounted to only 500 hectares. The yield of this crop in this region on average over the years ranges from 6-12 c / ha, and in Kazakhstan as a whole 21-22 c / ha.

Over the past 10 years, following soybean varieties have been approved for use in the Republic of Kazakhstan: Ivushka, Birlik KV, Danaya, Perizat, Zhansaya, Lastochka, Akku, Pamyat UGK, Aizere, Sabira, Vostochnaya krasavitsa (originators is “KazRIAPG” LLP, “EKAES” LLP, "Kostanay RIA" LLP) in Kostanay, Akmola, East Kazakhstan, Kyzylorda, Almaty, Zhambyl, South Kazakhstan regions.

New varieties of soybeans are cultivated in production conditions using various technologies. Thus, in Agropark Ontustik, the varieties Ai Saule, Zhansaya and the ultra-early ripening variety Ivushka are cultivated using no till technology (no watering). There are also fields with drip irrigation of soybeans with continuous sowing and discrete irrigation of 8 soybean varieties of different ripeness groups.

To create new varieties of soybeans, KazRIAPG scientists under the leadership of Professor S.V. Didorenko in the field, hundreds of crossbreeding combinations are carried out annually - ultra-early maturing for the north, early maturing for the east, mid-maturing for the southeast and for the south of Kazakhstan. Hybridization is carried out only in the morning. Castration and pollination are carried out simultaneously.

Scientists and specialists of KazRIAPG regularly conduct agro-training for farmers. In the event organized within the framework of the innovation project 019 of the Almaty region "The introduction of a complex of intensive technologies for the cultivation of corn, soybeans and sugar beets in the system of precision farming on the demonstration plot of the Taldykorgan region" was attended by farmers and heads of peasant farms of Alakol, Sarkan, Aksu, Eskeldinskiy , Karatal, Koksu districts and the city of Taldykorgan. The journalists of the Kazakhstan TV channel made a special report on this agricultural training https://qazaqstan.tv/videos/123146

Head of the department of leguminous crops of KazRIAPG Didorenko S.V. took part in the seminar of the “EKAES” LLP on the expansion of crops of soybeans, corn and sorghum in the region. S.V. Didorenko made a report on the topic "Climatic opportunities, varietal policy and economics of soybean cultivation in the north and east of Kazakhstan."
