On March 10, 2020, a meeting was held under the chairmanship of Gulmira Issayeva, the vice-minister of agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan with representatives of Texas A&M AgriLife University Mike MacWhorter and Elizabeth J. Parker. The meeting discussed issues of livestock development in Kazakhstan. During the meeting director of the department for international cooperation and attraction of investments of “NASEC” JSC Dana Borumbayeva presented the activities of the NASEC and talked about the infrastructure for extension programs for Kazakhstani farmers.

The National Agrarian Scientific and Educational Center has vast experience and potential in the transfer of knowledge among farmers and is successfully developing an extension system based on the existing Knowledge distribution centers. For example, annually NASEC advises about 3 thousand farmers and conducts more than 100 seminars in various areas of the agricultural sector. To date, the NASEC has 22 Knowledge distribution centers, and each of them has 5-8 extension agents, and in the future, it is planned to increase the number of such centers.

NASEC actively participates jointly with the ministry of agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan in the preparatory work of the World Bank on the "Project for the sustainable development of livestock." This project aims to promote the development of an environmentally sustainable, inclusive and competitive livestock sector in Kazakhstan. It is planned to train 100 thousand small and medium-sized farmers through the extension system, as well as strengthen training programs at three agricultural universities (Kazakh National Agrarian University, Kazakh agro-technical university, West Kazakhstan agrarian-technical university), which are the Alma Mater for modern farmers. To date, 23,745 undergraduate students, 2,106 masters and 352 PhD Doctors are undergoing tuition.
