Kazakhstan has started exporting meat to Azerbaijan

This year, Kazakhstan began exporting bulls, meat and edible poultry offal to Azerbaijan. The countries also exchanged lists of interested producers of agricultural products and expect to increase the number of exports/imports. This was reported in the press service of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

In 2023, the volume of trade in agricultural products between Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan decreased by almost 50% and amounted to about $ 75 million. This week, Minister of Agriculture Aidarbek Saparov met with the head of the Ministry of Agriculture of Azerbaijan Majnun Mammadov, discussing potential opportunities to increase mutual trade.

According to Aidarbek Saparov, work is underway on an ongoing basis to lift veterinary restrictions bilaterally. In February 2023, veterinary certificates for the export of breeding and slaughtered cattle and cattle, finished meat products (canned food, sausages, etc.) to Azerbaijan were agreed. To expand the range of mutual trade, the Ministry of Agriculture will continue to work on the harmonization of veterinary and sanitary requirements for milk and dairy products, poultry meat and poultry products.
