Kazakhstan seeks to ship 500 tons of meat to Russia
Kazakhstan, which expects to become a key player in the global meat market, plans to supply 500 tons of meat to Russia by late 2013, Deputy Chairman of the board of KazAgro Holding Dauren Mahazhanov said.
"That is the purpose. Some 50 tons of meat have already been shipped to date. It is possible to ship 500 tons by the year's end. We are currently holding talks with Russian companies engaged in the sales of agricultural products, including on the Moscow market," Mahazhanov said on at a press briefing at the Service of Central Communications on July 29.
He said interested companies from Moscow have already visited Kazakhstan and held talks with the Kazakh side.
"They came and talked, visited feedlots. Negotiations on the terms of these agreements are currently underway," Mahazhanov said.
According to him, the price monitoring of domestic meat products is being conducted.
"When comparing our frozen beef, Russian entrepreneurs have an understanding that our meat can take a good position in the class of "premium", he said.
