French Ambassador Outlines Agricultural Cooperation Priorities with Kazakhstan at AqAltyn Congress
At the beginning of his speech, the diplomat noted that the dairy sector holds a central place in France's agricultural structure.
According to the ambassador, there are about 58,000 dairy farms in France, ensuring sustainable production and deep processing of products. "This is the foundation of the country's agri-food economy," he emphasized.
Sylvain Guioge pointed out that the French model is based on strong cooperative structures, genetic technologies, innovations in feeding, and high-quality standards.
The ambassador noted that the conditions for livestock development in Kazakhstan and France differ significantly in terms of climate, farm structure, population density, and degree of industrialization.
Nevertheless, he stated that Kazakhstan holds significant growth potential, especially in industrial dairy farming, where French technologies and solutions can be transferred.
The diplomat placed special emphasis on the current level of cooperation: about 20% of Kazakhstan's dairy product imports fr om the EU are of French origin.
According to Sylvain Guioge, this is not the lim it. France's existing technological solutions in genetics, feeding, herd management, and process automation have already proven effective in international projects and can be adapted to Kazakhstani conditions.
"The sector demonstrates rich potential, opening opportunities for expanded cooperation with France," the ambassador noted.
The ambassador specifically emphasized the importance of French developments in genetics and highlighted that this area will remain a flagship of bilateral cooperation.
He noted that France is ready to share its expertise in:
-
dairy cattle genetics,
-
breeding and breed management,
-
innovative feeding approaches,
-
dairy farm digitalization.
"Our joint efforts should form the basis for successful cooperation," the diplomat emphasized.
Sylvain Guioge expressed hope that joint efforts—from technology exchange to the implementation of specific projects—will contribute to the development of Kazakhstan's dairy sector.
