Kazakhstan has a unique problem. It's long on land and short on the people to farm it.

The Central Asian country is huge -- about six times the size of France -- but has less than one-quarter of France's population -- just 16 million people.

Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbaev addressed this issue during a recent meeting of his office's Council of Foreign Investors on December 4.
