The trade turnover of
agricultural products between Kazakhstan and China nearly doubled last year. In
the first quarter of 2024, this figure increased by another six percent.
Notably, the export of domestic agricultural products to China grew by 84
percent over the year. Further prospects for enhancing cooperation in this area
were discussed during a meeting between Kazakh Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov
and Vice Premier of the State Council of China Liu Guozhong. Kazakhstan is
ready to increase the supply of organic and environmentally friendly
agricultural products to the Chinese market. Priorities also include the
creation of joint projects for deep processing in the agricultural sector. On
his part, Liu Guozhong expressed China's intention to develop cooperation in
the fields of artificial intelligence, e-commerce, satellite communications,
and green energy. Overall, the two countries are currently implementing 45 joint
projects worth $14.5 billion.
