Lentils and Legumes in Kazakhstan: Borghi SP Automatic Samplers Ensure Accurate Grain Quality Control
In 2026, farmers in Kazakhstan are actively increasing areas planted with lentils and other legumes to diversify agricultural production and reduce dependence on wheat. Traditional reliance on wheat creates high economic risks amid unstable global prices and potential crop failures.
To support farmers, government programs provide long-term forward financing, advancing sowing operations and granting access to working capital. As a result, lentil planting areas have quadrupled in recent years, and exports of dried legumes have exceeded 570,000 tons, which is 50% more than the previous year.
With the expansion of sowing areas, the need for fast and accurate grain quality control of lentils and other legumes is growing. At elevators and processing enterprises, Borghi SP automatic samplers are used — modern equipment for collecting representative samples of grain, oilseeds, and legumes.
Advantages of Borghi SP Automatic Samplers:
- High sampling accuracy — uniform material collection along the entire probe length
- Fast results — samples from wagons, trucks, or silos in seconds
- Safe and convenient operation — electric control panel, remote control, optional video camera
- Durable construction — resistant to dust, moisture, and temperature fluctuations
- Automatic sample transportation — material is immediately sent to the laboratory with minimal human factor influence
Using Borghi SP automatic samplers allows Kazakhstani enterprises to:
- quickly control the quality of lentils and legumes
- speed up laboratory grain analysis
- minimize errors associated with manual sampling
- improve export performance through standardized quality control
Thus, the transition of farmers to lentils and legumes, combined with modern grain sampling technologies, is a strategic step toward sustainable agricultural development and improving the economic stability of agribusinesses.
