Kazakhstan is ready to boost
exports of domestic products to $45 billion over the next five years. This year
alone, the country is set to increase the volume of supplies of highly
processed goods by six percent or more than $37 billion. Kazakh Ministry of
Trade and Integration has already identified key areas. Thus, the export of
finished products to China is expected to expand to $12.5 billion in the medium
term, representing a 2.5-fold increase. The countries of the CIS, Central Asia,
the Middle East, and Europe are among the priority export areas.
“A comprehensive work will continue to increase
trade with the EAEU and Central Asian countries. To this end, the
necessary infrastructure for cross-border trade is being developed. Also, plans
are being made to boost exports of high-margin goods to the Middle East,
including chilled lamb, poultry meat, and by-products. Additionally, a priority
is given to the highly competitive European Union markets, which are ready to
purchase Kazakh food and organic products,” said Arman Shakkaliyev, Kazakh
Minister of Trade and Integration.
