A Chinese delegation, led by the head of Chinese Agro-Industrial Association Liu Jingling visited Kazakhstan’s Pavlodar region to get acquainted with opportunities in local agriculture sphere.

The parties held a meeting with participation of National Chamber of Entrepreneurs of Kazakhstan “Atameken”, regional Agency for attraction of investments and “Kazakh Invest” company, the press service of Pavlodar region said in a message.

Liu Jingling appreciated the quality of work on attracting investments in the region, preparedness for work with the Chinese partners and talked on the plans for further cooperation.

“It is planned to create the Kazakh-Chinese trade export-import platform in agriculture. One of them will be in Astana, second – in Guizhou (China). The Chinese and Kazakh agricultural products will be available on these platforms, which aim to provide the opportunity to meet directly with Chinese consumers”, the regional representative of “Kazakh Invest” JSC said, the press service of Pavlodar region said in a message.

The businessmen from China already consider investing in agriculture of Kazakhstan. The Chinese government banned granting of land on lease to Chinese entrepreneurs, so they are ready to cooperate with Kazakh landowners and provide them with equipment at their own expense.

Local farmers are only expected to grow their crops. By the end of the planting season, the product will be sold to China, so that the both sides keep their profits.
