Kazakhstan and Belarus
are expanding cooperation. This year, mutual trade turnover has grown by 17%,
and the two countries aim to increase trade to $1.5 billion. Active collaboration
in the agricultural sector and mechanical engineering will contribute to this goal. Notably, Belarusian tractors and
harvesters are already being assembled in Kazakhstan. In turn, Kazakhstan supplies agricultural products to Belarus. The
first bilateral agricultural forum is designed to discuss prospects for further
partnership and establish contacts. Participants will showcase new technologies
in dairy and meat production, as well as developments in crop cultivation and agricultural
technology. The forum will also explore opportunities for creating joint
agricultural clusters.
«Together with the
Kazakh Ministry of Agriculture, the first Belarus-Kazakhstan Agricultural Forum
has been organized. It will focus on the exchange of technologies in dairy and
meat production, as well as in agricultural machinery supporting farming operations. A number of documents are expected to be signed,
with a total value estimated to exceed $50-60 million,» noted Belarusian
Ambassador to Kazakhstan Alexey Bogdanov.
