The Ministry of Agriculture stated that this is an important step, as previously, Kazakhstan had never supplied pork to the Chinese market, and no Kazakh enterprises had obtained permission to export pork to China. The protocol opens up new opportunities for pork supply, including frozen and chilled meat, as well as by-products and heat-treated products. The signing of the document will usher in a new phase in the development of bilateral trade relations and help strengthen Kazakhstan's pig farming and processing industry.
The increase in export volume will drive the improvement of enterprise capacity and the development of rural areas.
The protocol is an important step in the development of economic and trade relations between the two countries, and in the widespread promotion of Kazakhstan's agricultural products in the international market, according to Agriculture Minister Aidarbek Saparov.
According to the document, the Kazakh Ministry of Agriculture and the Chinese General Administration of Customs agreed to strengthen cooperation to ensure that product quality and safety meet high international standards, and will pay special attention to inspection and quarantine issues.
