During the covid period, "QazTrade" reoriented export flows

Deputy General Directors of JSC "CRTP "QazTrade" told at a briefing in the CCS about the work on export support.

Assistance in finding potential buyers abroad is one of the important functions of QazTrade.

This is especially true in the context of ongoing covid restrictions. Over the past year and a half, with the assistance of QazTrade, the business has been able to reorient export flows from traditional directions, which turned out to be closed, to new sales markets.

"For example, frozen meat exports were redirected from the markets of China and Central Asian countries to the countries of the Middle East. In particular, the Optograd company was able to increase its exports to the UAE by $ 500 thousand.. The manufacturer of safflower oil KazIrAgro temporarily changed the Chinese market to the Qatari and American.

In May, QazTrade became the first company in Central Asia to conclude an agreement with the largest global platform for finding business partners - Opportunity Network," Asel Egemberdieva, Deputy CEO of QazTrade, said during a briefing.

Now QazTrade customers can directly contact 45,000 owners and top managers of companies in 140 countries.

Nuraly Bukeikhanov, Deputy General Director of QazTrade, said that in order to popularize Kazakh products in foreign markets and search for reliable buyers, country export programs were initiated, which were concluded with foreign institutions of the Republic of Kazakhstan in 40 countries of the world.

"Now we are working in the QazTrade – Embassy – Business coalition, which eventually became a qualitative basis for export promotion," Bukeikhanov said.
