The plan to bring Kazakh goods to major foreign retail chains has been announced. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Sputnik Kazakhstan.
Minister of Trade and Integration Arman Shakkaliev presented new support measures to promote domestic products on world markets at a government meeting. He noted that in the first five months of this year, exports of non-commodity goods increased by 14.5 percent, reaching $11.8 billion.
Currently, about 44 percent of goods produced in Kazakhstan are exported. According to the minister, the next stage is to promote finished products to foreign markets. For this purpose, a new support measure is being developed to place domestic products on the shelves of major foreign retail chains such as Lulu Hypermarket, Carrefour, Gross, Panda, Spinneys and others.
When increasing exports, priority will be given to the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union, Central Asia, the Middle East, Europe and China.
