  • Food and Beverage Catalogue Kazakhstan Export Accelerator Programme Foreword
    Food and Beverage Catalogue Kazakhstan Export Accelerator Programme Foreword Dear colleagues, The Ministry of Trade and Integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan welcome you to the Kazakhstan pavilion at the 3rd China International Import Expo (CIIE). We wish we could welcome you in person, but we are happy that in these unprecedented times the CIIE organizers and our team were able to arrange our participation in the exhibition in the virtual format. This catalogue includes food and beverage products manufactured by 35 Kazakh companies that are taking part in the first Export Accelerator program initiated by the Ministry of Trade and Integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The program has been developed and being implemented by the QazTrade Center for Trade Policy Development and PwC. This year the aim of the program is to help promising domestic food producers expand their presence in the Chinese market. For many businesses, entering the international market is a long and complicated process. Lack of information, complex certification procedures, lack of export experience are among the reasons why businesses give up their export plans. Together with the PwC team, we are providing export consulting and intensive individual coaching sessions to the companies participating in the program to ensure their long-term presence in the Chinese market. We believe that the products listed in this catalogue would be deservedly in demand in China because of their high quality and uniqueness. We would like to express our appreciation for you taking your time to stop by our pavilion. Bakhyt Sultanov Minister of Trade and Integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan 2 Introduction This year, the food industry was chosen for the first program, due to its enormous export potential with China being the main sales market for Kazakh producers to target new exports.

The researched issues also include the identification of factors provoked by humans and the state to launch these migrations. Surprisingly enough, opposite to the claims made by independent Kazakhstan leadership in the early 2000s, the number of Kazakhs in Kyrgyzstan wishing to become repatriates to their native country is still far from the desired. Thus the article is an attempt to find out what reasons and factors influence the Kazakh residents’ desire to stay in the neighboring country as a minority. To provide the answer, the authors analyzed the dynamics of statistical variations in the number of migrants and the reasons of these changes. The other key point in tracing what characteristic features separate Kazakhs in Kyrgyzstan and their kinsmen in Kazakhstan is the archival data, statistical, historical, and field sources, which provide a systematic overview of the largely unstudied pages of the history of the Kazakh diaspora.
