In modern realities, countries that specialize in selling agricultural products abroad are conditionally divided into two types: those that are mainly engaged in the cultivation of organic products, and those that actively use synthetic fertilizers, pesticides. The Republic of Kazakhstan is one of the examples of states that are switching to the principles of organic agriculture. Thus, consideration of the main results of Kazakhstan in the context of the transition to such principles of functioning remains relevant. The purpose is to show what the Republic of Kazakhstan has managed to achieve in terms of the transition to organic agriculture, and what trends are currently observed in the industry. The work showed that the country has achieved some indicators in terms of the transition to organic agriculture. In particular, the foundation was laid for the legislative framework, which created the opportunity to develop this business in principle. Nevertheless, a significant number of problems remain relevant that prevent the achievement of the intended goals in the industry. The main one is the lack of national production in the domestic market of the country due to the complex certification process.
