ASTANA, Kazakhstan, January 29. Kazakh and UAE
agricultural companies have signed around 20 commercial agreements
worth $335 million, Trend reports via the Ministry of Agriculture of
Kazakhstan.
The signing took place following a roundtable discussion with
representatives from Kazakhstan's agribusiness sector and business
circles from the UAE, Egypt, Türkiye, and China, chaired by
Minister of Agriculture Aidarbek Saparov.
Saparov emphasized that the UAE is one of Kazakhstan's priority
trade, economic, and investment partners, with agriculture being a
key component of bilateral relations. As of November 2025, the
turnover of agri-food products between the two countries has grown
by nearly 7%.
In 2025, Kazakhstan's agricultural gross output increased by
5.9%, reaching approximately $20 billion, largely due to a tenfold
increase in preferential financing over the past five years,
reaching $3 billion.
In 2025, Kazakhstan's harvest included around 27 million tons of
grain, 4.8 million tons of oilseeds, and over 1 million tons of
legumes.
The roundtable was organized as part of Minister Saparov's
working trip to Dubai and Kazakhstan's participation in the largest
international food and beverage exhibition, Gulfood 2026.
