Abstract

This study assessed the quality and safety, physical and economic availability of Kazakhstani food products in the regional market. The aim of the research is to assess the satisfaction of the local population with the availability, affordability, quality and safety of food products produced in Kazakhstan. The empirical data of 297 people who participated in the survey were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling. The results of the study confirm the positive relationship between the presence of Kazakhstan-made food products on the market and the degree of public satisfaction with their diet, a positive relationship between the affordability of Kazakhstan-made food and the degree of public satisfaction with their diet, as well as proved the existence of a direct relationship between the quality and safety of food products made in Kazakhstan and the degree of public satisfaction with their diet. In addition, an analysis of official statistical data on the volume of production and imports of food products was carried out, which made it possible to make a more detailed analysis of the degree of provision of the country's population with basic foodstuffs.
