70 companies of Kazakhstan will be given an account on the Alibaba platform with the status of "Gold Supplier" for a period of 1 year, the Ministry of Trade and Integration of Kazakhstan said in a statement, Xinhua reports.
This status provides entrepreneurs with access to a global consumer audience and allows them to increase the recognition of goods abroad.
This year, 110 Kazakh companies with the greatest export potential will be selected as part of the Export Acceleration program. Participants are supposed to be divided into two groups: "beginners in export" and "active", said Asel Egemberdiyeva, Deputy General Director of the QazTrade Trade Policy Development Center of Kazakhstan.
"For beginners, training master classes will be held to prepare for export, step-by-step instructions and recommendations will be developed. Also, experienced specialists will diagnose their business and offer producers the most profitable markets," A. Egemberdieva explained.
In turn, existing exporting companies will be able to take part in active B2B negotiations, including learning the rules for conducting them. During the year, entrepreneurs will meet with business partners, accompanied by QazTrade experts and international analysts.
In 2023, the list of priority markets for goods manufactured in Kazakhstan has expanded significantly. In addition to traditional countries for Kazakhstani exports, such as Russia, China, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, the markets of Turkey, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Vietnam will be offered to producers of Kazakhstani goods.
At the end of 2022, QazTrade program participants signed long-term contracts for the supply of goods and services worth more than $700 million. Their products are now successfully exported to the markets of Russia, China, Central Asia and the Middle East.
