In this article, we explore the prospects for Kazakhstan’s meat producers and highlight the success of Qazaq Gourmet, a store specializing in Kazakh meat delicacies.
Kazakhstan’s Growing Exports to the UAE
In 2022, Kazakhstan exported goods and services worth $560.3 million to the UAE, marking a substantial increase in trade between the two countries. This growth underscores the considerable potential for further expansion in their bilateral trade relations. One of the most promising sectors in this regard is the export of Kazakh meat products, which has been gaining momentum over the last three years, according to QazTrade, the Center for Trade Policy Development.
The Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry, with the support of QazTrade, recently organized the Kazakhstan-Emirates Business Forum in Astana. The event attracted representatives from 26 companies in the UAE, all keen to collaborate with Kazakh businesses.
By the end of 2022, the total trade turnover between Kazakhstan and the UAE had reached $632.6 million, and both nations have expressed their intentions to further increase this figure.
