In the first few hours of sales alone, businesses earned $22,000. It bears noting that Kazakhstan’s pavilion was doubled in size this year. The international exhibition attracts over 300,000 Chinese buyers annually.

«The China International Import Expo is a unique platform for us, and we are confident that our producers will fully showcase their potential and present their products, and this will give a new impetus to deepening and establishing cooperation with Chinese partners. We have brought over 50 Kazakh companies, offering a range of products including oil and fat, beverages, honey, textiles, and meat products,» noted Arman Shakkaliyev, Kazakh Minister of Trade and Integration.
