Iranian Solico Group to Establish Dairy Plant in Kazakhstan

In addition to the dairy plant, Kourosh Food Industry, another major Iranian company, has shown interest in entering the Kazakh market. The company aims to set up production facilities for vegetable oil and poultry farming in Kazakhstan, further diversifying the agricultural cooperation between the two nations.

President Tokayev emphasized the commitment to fostering partnerships in the agricultural sector, inviting Iranian entrepreneurs to invest in joint projects and modern production facilities within Kazakhstan. He highlighted that Iran is one of the primary importers of Kazakh grain, with trade turnover in the agribusiness sector reaching $220 million last year. In the first ten months of this year, grain sales alone amounted to $280 million.

These developments underscore the strategic importance of agricultural collaboration between Kazakhstan and Iran, aiming to boost trade and investment in the sector.
