A meeting of the Regional Export Council (RES) was held in Pavlodar with the participation of 40 export-oriented companies, Deputy Akim of the region Saken Shayakhmetov, General Director of JSC "Center for the Development of Trade Policy "QazTrade" MTI RK Azamat Askaruly and representatives of KazakhExport.

Azamat Askaruly, General Director of QazTrade, presented the new opportunities of a single window for exporters to the exporting enterprises of the region and spoke about the measures planned by the state in terms of export support.

"Today, QazTrade is an operator for the development and promotion of exports of non-primary products. The Company focuses on almost all non-financial support tools for domestic producers, ranging from company diagnostics and evaluation of its export opportunities to providing high-quality analytics and consulting services. In addition, since this year, the Company has also been engaged in reimbursing the costs of exporters" - Askaruly said.

At the same time, he emphasized that all services from this year can be obtained online on the portal export.gov.kz "For efficiency, a year ago we launched the Telegram channel @exportgov and more recently the telegram bot - @qaztradebot. The latter focuses on information about export support by topic: how to get into the "Export Acceleration" program, get cost recovery or other financial measures to support the exporter, information on entering electronic platforms or public procurement. Here you can leave your message or ask a question,"-  Askaruly informed the entrepreneurs of the region.

The main task of the regional export councils with the participation of QazTrade is to ensure direct contact with representatives of the business communities of Kazakhstan and export development institutions, which makes it possible to quickly respond to all emerging problem situations.

“We have an important task set before us: to ensure uninterrupted supplies of domestic products to foreign markets and to provide all possible support to you-exporters. During the year, we will meet with producers from each region at REC meetings to find out the problematic issues and "fine points" for export-oriented businesses in the field. All this information is required to systematically solve the problems of our exporters and ensure the implementation of the main goal – to increase non - resource exports of $ 41 billion by 2025," said Azamat Askaruly, General Director of QazTrade.

Entrepreneurs of Pavlodar region are already cooperating with QazTrade.

At the same time, the positive dynamics of export supplies remained in such commodity groups as mechanical engineering (an increase of 2.2 times or by $ 54.9 million, including due to an increase in the volume of exports of railway axles and wheels, diesel-electric locomotives), chemical products (an increase of 5.1% or by $ 11.5 million), food industry (an increase of 1.4 times or by $ 17.7 million).
