The export of kumiss, a traditional milk product, from Bashkiria to Kazakhstan is projected to increase 3-4 times in 2024 due to the opening of new production facilities and expanding product range. Current daily exports are 20 tons, equating to over 7,000 tons annually, a figure that has increased significantly from the previous year.
