Chinese investors
are set to bring Kazakh national products to the global market. For instance, a
plant in Turkistan, valued at seven billion tenge, is a joint project between
the two countries. The enterprise, which has no equivalent in Central Asia, produces
camel’s milk concentrate. Currently, it processes 15,000 tonnes of milk, with
plans to increase this figure to 100,000 tonnes once the plant reaches full
capacity. The finished dry mixture is exported to China, and in the future,
domestic medicinal products might be sent to countries both near and far
abroad.
«Milk produced at camel breeding farms in the region is primarily delivered to this processing facility. Here, the milk’s composition and fat content are analyzed, followed by filtration. Cleaning and disinfection are carried out using specialized equipment. The milk is then transferred to the production unit, where it is processed into powder. The entire process is automated. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed in the milk processing area, as the conditions are very strict. We ensure that the quality of the finished product meets global standards,» said head of production department He Re Chiyang.
Kazakh companies will soon be able to supply dry mare’s milk to the Chinese market, which was previously impossible due to the lack of a Chinese standard for this type of product, the Ministry of Trade and Integration notes. After an appeal from Kazakhstan, China developed and approved the necessary requirements, which will come into force next year. This new standard opens up prospects for Kazakh producers, allowing them to expand their export opportunities. Kazakhstan has been successfully promoting this unique dietary product in both domestic and foreign markets.
