Demand for domestically produced finished goods is growing.
Last year, Kazakhstan's non-commodity exports increased by 12%. In the first
two months of this year alone, the country exported $3.6 billion worth of such
products. These include processed goods, machinery, chemicals, and food items.
As a result, non-commodity exports now account for 35% of the country’s total
export volume. Kazakhstan’s key trading partners include Russia, China, Türkiye,
Uzbekistan, and the Kyrgyz Republic. Last year, the country also began
exporting its products for the first time to Mauritania, Laos, Jamaica, Gabon,
and Zimbabwe.
«Representatives of the Ministry of Trade and Integration
have also been appointed to Kazakhstan’s embassies in five countries: Türkiye,
China, the UAE, India, and Iran. Additionally, we are placing special emphasis
on the Chinese market, one of our key trading partners. The Ministry is also
working on the establishment and development of cross-border hubs in the form
of industrial and special economic zones,» said Bauyrzhan Bolganissov, Director
of the Export Promotion Department, Kazakh Ministry of Trade and Integration.
«To date, we showcase Kazakh goods at national pavilions on
major marketplaces such as JD.com, Douyin, Alibaba, and Europages.com. These
platforms help us actively promote exports by leveraging available digital
solutions, without physically moving goods across borders,» said Aitmukhamed
Aldazharov, Director General of the QazTrade Center for Trade Policy
Development.
