He added the national chamber receives today the representatives of China’s authorities and organized meetings with Kazakhstani producers.

Batalov said Kazakhstani meat processors should ensure their products meet all standards to enter the list of exporters to China.

He also said Kazakhstan exports grain to China throughout the year but China has its own customs procedures. “For example, if the grain was delivered to the Dostyq-Alashankow station, there is no laboratory. We have agreed that China will build a laboratory on the border,” he said.

Notably, several Chinese and Kazakhstani investors invest in laboratories in the territory of Kazakhstan to facilitate grain exports to China. He expressed hope the yearend will establish the laboratories.
