Kazakhstan's Land Reform Fails to Boost Rental and Credit Access for Farmers
The land reform in Kazakhstan aimed to improve land rental and credit markets, but it led to land concentration instead. The reform did not increase land sales but reorganized the rental market with the state as the main landlord. Skilled producers did not gain better access to land, and using land as collateral did not improve. Overall, the reform had limited success, and more significant changes are needed to enhance Kazakhstan's agricultural land markets.
