Kazakhstan launches frozen meat export to UAE

BAKU, Azerbaijan, Apr.9

By Nargiz Sadikhova – Trend:

Kazakhstan has exported beef and mutton of local production to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for the first time, Trend reports with reference to Kazakhstan’s Ministry of Trade and Integration.

Twenty-two tons of locally produced frozen mutton (12 tons) and frozen beef (10 tons) were sent to Abu Dhabi.

UAE Ambassador to Kazakhstan Mohammed Ahmed Al Jaber said that Kazakh meat will be supplied to all major trade networks in UAE.

In turn, Kazakhstan’s Minister of Trade and Integration Bakhyt Sultanov said that the ministry jointly with the UAE embassy in Kazakhstan are working on ways to use civil planes to deliver Kazakh export goods to UAE weekly. He added that the experience received when transporting cargo in quarantine regime will be used when exporting meat.

Kazakhstan’s traditional export markets for meat are Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Afghanistan.

Kazakhstan for the most part exports frozen meat. Local demand in Kazakhstan for beef is completely covered by local ventures, which gives the opportunity to increase export.
