Agriculture is one of the most dynamically developing areas
of cooperation between China and Central Asia. Kazakhstan remains a key partner
for China, serving as a reliable supplier of high-quality grain, flour, and
oil. This was noted by representatives of the Chinese company Aiju, which has
been developing joint projects with Kazakh farmers for nearly a decade.
«We currently import sunflower seeds from Kazakhstan for the
production of sunflower oil. From your country, we primarily receive raw
materials for sunflower, rapeseed, and flaxseed oils, as well as grain.
Supplies mainly come from the northern regions of Kostanai and Akmola. Raw
materials from Kazakhstan account for about 50–60% of our oil production, which
amounts to approximately 2–3 million tonnes of refined product annually,» said Liu
Zhiping, Deputy Director General of Aiju.
