Kuwait’s Al Mawashi explores opportunities for strategic cooperation with Kazakh enterprises

Al-Kuwait, October 8, 2025 – Ambassador of the Republic of Kazakhstan to the State of Kuwait Yerzhan Yelekeyev held a meeting with Chief Executive Officer of «Al Mawashi» company Ahmed Al-Majed.

During the meeting, the parties discussed prospects for developing trade and economic cooperation between Kazakhstan and Kuwait in the agro-industrial complex, particularly in the area of meat product supplies from Kazakhstan to Kuwait.

The company representative noted that following the decision to gradually close the live cattle export market in Australia, the company is actively considering new supply destinations and has expressed particular interest in the Kazakh market.

For his part, the Ambassador of Kazakhstan emphasized that developing a partnership with «Al Mawashi» is fully in line with the interests of Kazakhstan, which is one of the largest producers and exporters of meat products in Central Asia, with rich natural resources, extensive pastures, and modern processing infrastructure.

The Kazakh diplomat noted that Kazakhstan is ready to ensure stable supplies of high-quality halal meat and offer reliable conditions for long-term cooperation with Kuwaiti partners.

«Al Mawashi» company («Livestock Transport & Trading Company K.P.S.C.») was founded in 1973 and is one of the largest operators in the transport and trade of live cattle and meat products in the Middle East. The company is headquartered in Kuwait, but also operates in the UAE, South Africa, Australia, and other countries. Its annual volume of operations exceeds 1 million head of livestock, and its total turnover is estimated at more than 200 million US dollars. Al Mawashi is actively expanding its international cooperation and considers Kazakhstan to be one of its key partners in ensuring food security for the countries of the Persian Gulf.
