This will give an impetus to the export-oriented nature of the entire agricultural industry of the country, the products will become recognizable to potential investors, and due to the expansion of the capacity of meat factories, new jobs will appear.
“Kazakhstan is a country full of opportunities. Today one of the companies that is a member of the Chinese Meat Association plans to purchase pork meat from a local enterprise. We are talking about 20 thousand tons per year. But we are also interested in lamb and beef. And we are ready to share our experience to help Kazakhstanis develop livestock farming and export meat from large and small livestock to China. We are sure that this will not be the last visit from our side,” said Ma Guangsheng, President of the Beef Importers and Exporters Club of the Chinese Meat Association.
“Representatives of the Chinese business community showed great interest in the implementation of joint promising projects and expressed hope for successful cooperation with Kazakh partners. We should understand that China has big demands. Supply volumes must be stable and raw materials must be safe. Our meat is of high quality, we have no doubt in our products, and we are ready for fruitful cooperation. The neighboring sales market is important to us,” noted the head of the EMC agro company, Erzhan Yeleubaev.
