QazTrade held a meeting of the Regional Export Council Kostanay region
The Regional Export Council was held in Kostanay with the participation of more than 50 export-oriented companies, Deputy akim of the region Koishybayev Yerlan, Director of the project development department of QazTrade JSC MIT RK Aibek Sagynayev and representatives of KazakhExport.
The export volume of the Kostanay region in 2020 amounted to $ 1.3 billion. Products and services are exported to more than 20 countries around the world. The main volume of exports goes to countries such as Russia, Uzbekistan and Afghanistan.
Two companies in the region (Prombaza 7 LLP and Bayan Sulu JSC) are represented on the Alibaba platform: they received a Golden Account as part of a program to promote Kazakhstani exports through international marketplaces. Last year, 8 enterprises from Kostanay region participated in the export acceleration program (Bayan Sulu JSC, DEP LLP, Leader 2010 LLP, Best Kostanay LLP, Aruana-2010 LLP, TD Amanat LLP, LLP "Molprodukt", LLP "Company Salamat").
Also last year, 24 exporting companies in the region received state support in the form of reimbursement of part of export costs in the amount of 909 million tenge.
QazTrade employees reported on the possibilities of obtaining both reimbursement of part of the costs of exporters and non-financial support measures for manufacturers of domestic products: from diagnostics of the company and assessment of its export capabilities to the provision of high-quality analytics and consulting services. For example, under the Export Acceleration Program, 35 food processing companies were prepared to enter the Chinese market. QazTrade employees, together with international experts, not only taught business representatives the "subtleties" of working with the Chinese market, but also helped to find buyers of Kazakhstani products in China.
This year Qaztrade is also ready to assist in attracting investments in export-oriented projects together with national companies such as Samruk Kazyna Invest LLP and Kazakhinvest JSC.
As part of the digitization of all business processes, all support services for exporters have been transferred online since this year.

If you have any operational questions, the @exportgov telegram channel and the @qaztradebot telegram bot are at your service. The bot will quickly find you information on topics: how to get into the Export Acceleration program, everything about receiving reimbursement of costs or other financial support measures, how to enter marketplaces or public procurements in other countries. Here you can leave your appeal or ask a question, ” Sagynayev informed.

At the same time, there was an active discussion on improving the procedures for obtaining reimbursement of part of the costs. They were also interested in the work of the Ministry of Trade and Integration to remove obstacles for our goods in the markets of the EAEU countries, to update the technical regulations of the Eurasian Union and Kazakhstan.
