In Almaty interim results of the export training within the framework of the Ready 4 Trade project were summed up
On September 2, 2021, a meeting on the interim results of the Ready4rade Central Asia project for small and medium-sized businesses on export management was held in Almaty.
Export Management Coaching Initiative for SMEs is a part of the Ready4Trade Central Asia project. The project is funded by the European Union (EU) and implemented by the International Trade Center (ITC).
The national partners of the project are the Ministry of Trade and Integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan and JSC "Center for the Development of Trade Policy "QazTrade".
The project aims to increase the potential of Kazakh producers in regional trade, helps to expand and increase the participation of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in regional and international supply chains, and create new export flows.
Representative of the Ministry of Trade and Integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan - Deputy Director of the Export Promotion Department Bauyrzhan Bolganisov noted, that “export development is one of the priority tasks of economic development”. “President Tokayev has repeatedly called on domestic companies to orient their business not only to domestic but also to foreign markets. The state, on the other hand, provides maximum support to exporters of processed products and services.
Currently, there are more than 20 financial and non-financial instruments in Kazakhstan to support commodity producers trading abroad. This includes export insurance, and reimbursement of part of the costs, market analysis, and assistance in technical regulation issues. Consulting assistance, training in the specifics of conducting export operations and the intricacies of presence in various markets is in demand,” said B. Bolganisov.
He also said that the support provided by the International Trade Center and the European Union in Kazakhstan within the framework of the Ready4Trade Central Asia project is very important for our country. You open up new opportunities for Kazakhstani companies to enter the regional market, which strengthens Kazakhstan's position in the region".
“The main objective of the coaching initiative within the Ready4Trade Central Asia project is to provide recommendations and necessary measures to improve export management practices for enterprises. Every day of practical training is dedicated to a specific topic that presents a problem for SMEs and is most relevant at this stage" - the National Manager of the Ready4Trade Central Asia project in Kazakhstan, Jalil Bulatov noted.
The meeting participants discussed the results of trainings for small and medium-sized businesses.
“The Ready4Trade project helps companies believe in their potential and strengthen their export positions”, said EMCI coach Ainur Tleuova.
For example, Billion Filters - is a plant for the production of polypropylene filters in Kazakhstan, within the framework of Ready4Trade coaching it received recommendations on packaging, labeling, and product certification. “Thanks to the recommendations, we were also able to optimize filters production and reduce the number of defects to zero. In just five days, the project gave us something that I would learn from my experience for many years”, said the founder of the enterprise Toktalyk Ziekenov. In total, within the framework of the initiative, it is planned to train 40 enterprises by the end of this year.
According to Nurlan Kulbatyrov, Deputy General Director of QazTrade, coaching is being conducted on topics such as packaging and labeling of goods, certification, customs procedures, international transportation, as well as export planning and invoicing.
“These topics are relevant for beginner exporters. The conditions for the circulation of goods on the market, logistics, beginning from high-quality packaging, ensuring the safety of goods, ending with the specifics of customs procedures and the conditions for settlements with buyers - all this is important to know in order to carry out any foreign trade operations with goods. Therefore, the training of entrepreneurs, which is carried out by ITC in partnership with the European Union, is very relevant", said Kulbatyrov.
The Ready4Trade Central Asia project is funded by the European Union (EU) and implemented by the International Trade Center (ITC). The implementation of the Ready4Trade project is designed for 4 years, from January 2020 and will be completed in December 2023. The project operates in 5 countries: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. Upon completion of the project, designed platforms and products of the Ready4Trade Central Asia Project will go under the administration of QazTrade.
