Twenty-seven Kazakh enterprises put their products on display at the fourth China International Import Expo (CIIE) that is taking place in Shanghai from Nov. 5 until Nov. 10.
This year Kazakhstan expanded the range of products in the meat and flour industry, bakery and confectionery, as well as oil, dairy, wine and liquor products, and ice cream.
Kazakh producers took part in the exhibition with the support of the country’s QazTrade Center for Trade Policy Development established in September 2019 thanks to an initiative by the Ministry of Trade and Integration, which serves as a command point promoting and coordinating support measures for Kazakh exporters.
“We have also ensured timely delivery of our products. More than 300,000 traders will visit the site. The total value of export contracts is estimated to be more than $100 million”
“This confirms our interest in entering the Chinese market. I attended the first CIIE personally. The exhibition was really grand and covered almost all industries and types of products worldwide.”
The Kazakh Meat Processing and Service Company founder Bakhytzhan Abdrasilov also told Xinhua about his high expectations from the exhibition. His company is a major beef exporter to China with a fattening base for 3,000 head of cows and one of four companies that have been licensed and accredited in Kazakhstan to promote meat to the Chinese market.
“Our company has participated in the CIIE since 2019. At the CIIE of that year, we signed a contract of US$50 million and exported about 2,500 tons of meat in six months,” he told the Chinese news agency.
