In 2008, the dairy sector accounted for about 17 percent of Kazakhstan’s agricultural gross domestic product (GDP) and 38 percent of its livestock GDP.1 For the last ten years, the annual volume of milk production has been increasing by an average of 4.5 percent, and has almost returned to the 1990 level (Figure 1).

Book (stand-alone)No. 11. Dairy - Measuring the impact of reform
FAO TRADE POLICY TECHNICAL NOTES
2005Determining the impact of reforms to dairy sector policies is problematic and controversial. The extent and pervasiveness of intervention in the sector, and the resulting distortions to the international market, would suggest that liberalization could potentially lead to large gains, and indeed these are consistently reflected in most model-based analyses. The size of impacts has long been thought of as the key reason why dairy reforms and trade discussions have been so diffi cult. However, there are reasons for questioning estimates of the likely magnitudes of such impacts across different importing and exporting countries.
