Trend reports via
KTZ.
The project is being implemented within the framework of a
strategic partnership between Kedentransservice, a subsidiary of
KTZ, and the Chinese company.
Moreover, the project envisages the construction of a modern
logistics complex covering 40 hectares, with a projected capacity
of over 1 million tons of cargo per year. The initiative includes
the development of container, railway, and warehouse infrastructure
aimed at improving logistics for the agro-industrial sector of
northern Kazakhstan.
The new terminal will provide storage for agricultural products,
cargo consolidation, and the formation of container trains for
export shipments.
Implementation of the project is expected to create more than
500 jobs during construction and around 100 permanent jobs after
the facility is commissioned. The project is also expected to
strengthen the position of the Akmola Region as one of Kazakhstan’s
key agro-export regions.
During the meeting, the parties also discussed expanding
logistics cooperation with Sichuan Province and the city of
Chengdu. The possibility of establishing a logistics hub that would
expand export and logistics opportunities between Kazakhstan and
the western regions of China is being considered.
They noted that the implementation of joint projects will
contribute to the development of sustainable logistics chains and
further strengthen trade and economic cooperation between
Kazakhstan and China.
