On June 3, 2026, a seminar was held in Astana to present the study "The European Union's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM): Market Access, Financial Implications, and Compliance for Kazakh Exporters of Aluminum and Ferrous Metallurgy." The event was attended by representatives of government agencies, businesses, international organizations, and the expert community. The welcoming speech was delivered by Zhanel Kushukova, Vice Minister of Trade and Integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan.CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism) is a carbon regulation mechanism introduced by the European Union as part of the EU's climate policy. Its goal is to account for the volume of greenhouse gas emissions during the production of imported goods and to ensure uniform environmental requirements for European and foreign producers. Since January 1, 2026, the mechanism has entered its mandatory application phase, making the accounting of a product's carbon footprint one of the key conditions for access to the EU market.This issue is of particular importance for Kazakhstan, as the European Union remains one of the country's largest trading partners and the main market for Kazakh aluminum. The new requirements directly affect domestic exporters of aluminum, iron, and steel, who need to adapt to the changing conditions of international trade."According to the results of 2025, the EU's share in Kazakhstan's foreign trade was about 31%, and in the structure of Kazakh exports - about 44%. It is especially important to note that more than half of Kazakh aluminum exports are supplied precisely to the countries of the European Union," noted Zhanel Kushukova. To support businesses, the Ministry of Trade and Integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the International Trade Centre, and JSC "QazTrade," within the framework of the Ready4Trade Central Asia project funded by the European Union, prepared a study assessing the impact of CBAM on Kazakhstan's aluminum and ferrous metallurgy industries. The document contains an analysis of possible financial implications, as well as practical recommendations for meeting the new requirements."The CBAM mechanism is one of the key elements of the European Union's broader climate and trade policy. Increasing transparency and improving sustainability reporting practices can help Kazakh exporters maintain competitiveness in the face of changing requirements on international markets. To facilitate this process, continued cooperation between government institutions, businesses, and international partners, such as the ITC, remains of paramount importance," emphasized Johannes Baur, Head of Cooperation at the EU Delegation to Kazakhstan."According to the ITC-QazTrade study, the annual obligations of Kazakh exporters under the CBAM mechanism for just four key product categories - unwrought aluminum, ferrochrome, as well as bars and rods - amount to approximately 114 million euros based on 2025 shipment volumes.We have already begun the systematic adaptation of industrial exporters to the new European Union requirements. This work is aimed at minimizing the financial burden and preserving the competitiveness of Kazakh products in one of the most important markets for us," emphasized Nurlan Kulbatyrov, Deputy General Director of JSC "QazTrade."During the seminar, participants were presented with the main findings of the study and recommendations for preparing enterprises to operate under the new conditions. Particular attention was paid to issues of emission accounting and verification, maintaining the competitiveness of Kazakh products on the European market, and utilizing opportunities associated with the transition to more environmentally friendly production.Joost Pauwelyn, an ITC expert and lead author of the report, noted, "Currently, Kazakhstan exports steel and aluminum to the EU worth over 600 million euros. According to the assessment, using default emission values under CBAM could lead to annual CBAM-related costs exceeding 100 million euros. At the same time, 90% of this impact will fall on steel bars and rods, for which the estimated CBAM-related costs could exceed the product's own cost (123%). The good news is that Kazakh producers could significantly reduce these costs through simple measures: monitoring and declaring actual emissions instead of using default values, accrediting local verifiers, reducing emissions at production sites, and strengthening internal carbon pricing mechanisms."Seminar participants emphasized that successful adaptation to CBAM requires the development of national emission monitoring and verification infrastructure, training of qualified specialists, and strengthening cooperation between the state, businesses, and international partners. At the same time, the new climate requirements are viewed not only as an additional challenge but also as an incentive for production modernization, improving energy efficiency, and implementing modern environmental technologies.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mti/press/news/details/1234299?lang=ru

Dear residents of Kostanay!Dear fellow countrymen!I wholeheartedly congratulate you on June 4th – the Day of the State Symbols of the Republic of Kazakhstan!The State Flag, Emblem, and Anthem are the pillars of our Independence and symbols of the national spirit. There is a Kazakh proverb: "Those with one banner have common roots, those with one path have a shared burden." Representatives of various ethnic groups in our country live in peace and harmony under the blue banner of Kazakhstan. We are united by our blue passport, common goals, and unwavering faith in the constructive power of the reforms being implemented.One of the important historical steps on this path was the adoption of the new Constitution in the nationwide referendum on March 15. The Basic Law is a guarantee of the state's stability and a solid foundation for the unity of the people. The key values enshrined in the Constitution – human rights, law and order, social justice, and the principles of responsible citizenship – have today become the basis of state policy.Head of State Kassym-Jomart Tokayev noted: "Our interests, our path, and our goal are one. This is the construction of a Just, Safe, and Clean Kazakhstan. If through the Constitution we ensure the supremacy of law and order, preserve and strengthen our unity, then we can conquer any heights."In the Kostanay region, large-scale transformations are also being implemented step by step, which is clearly confirmed by the pace of the region's development.The Head of State outlined a strategic task - to ensure annual economic growth of the country at a level of at least 6 percent. Over the past two years, we have consistently been fulfilling this instruction, demonstrating stable positive dynamics.Thus, in 2024, economic growth exceeded the set target of 6% and amounted to 8.3%. In 2025, with a planned target of 6.5%, growth reached 8.2%.

In Shymkent, the illegal sale of a large batch of chicken eggs of Russian origin has been suppressed. The violation was identified during the joint work of employees from the Veterinary Control and Supervision Committee, representatives of the Department of Trade and Consumer Rights Protection of Shymkent city, and the Union of Poultry Farmers of Kazakhstan.During control and supervision activities at the "Zhibek Zholy" market, specialists discovered eggs for sale without mandatory labeling and veterinary accompanying documents. The total volume of seized products amounted to 11,850 units.Laboratory test results established that the products do not meet safety requirements and the current legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The entire batch was destroyed in accordance with established procedures in the presence of a commission. Administrative offense cases have been initiated against the guilty persons, and the inspection materials have been sent to the authorized bodies for further procedural decisions.The Union of Poultry Farmers of Kazakhstan continues joint work with state bodies to identify and suppress cases of illegal trafficking of egg products. All recorded violations are sent to the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Trade and Integration, the State Revenue Committee, and the Sanitary and Epidemiological Control Committee.Despite the current restrictions, cases of selling unlabeled eggs of Russian origin are still being identified in some regions of the country. In this regard, state bodies continue systematic inspections of markets and trade facilities across the country to protect consumers and ensure market transparency.It is recalled that since April 17, 2026, Order No. 146 of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan on the temporary ban on the import of food chicken eggs has come into force. The measure is aimed at suppressing gray imports, preventing dumping, and maintaining a stable price situation in the domestic market during the period of seasonal demand growth.The practice of temporarily restricting egg imports has been applied in Kazakhstan for several consecutive years. Such measures are introduced during periods when domestic poultry farms fully meet the needs of the internal market. This helps protect Kazakh producers from dumping imports, create fair competitive conditions for the sale of domestic products, and maintain stable prices for consumers.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mti/press/news/details/1235268?lang=ru

On June 5, the Fifth Anniversary International Conference "FOC 2026: Fats and Oils Conference" is being held in Astana. Over five years, it has become one of the key platforms for discussing the future of the Eurasian fats and oils industry. This year, the forum brought together over 330 delegates from 18 countries worldwide, heads of more than 50 Kazakh oilseed processing plants, representatives of government agencies, international organizations, financial institutions, agro-holdings, logistics companies, and the world's largest industry players.The conference was organized by the National Association of Oilseed Processors with the support of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Ministry of Trade and Integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan, and JSC "QazTrade Center for Trade Policy Development". Among the participants were representatives of the International Trade Centre, UN FAO, EBRD, Wilmar, Bunge, Kourosh Food Industry, Huatai, Chinese Cereals and Oils Association, China Vegetable Oil Industry Association, and other international structures and companies.Opening the conference, Vice Minister of Trade and Integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan Aset Nusupov emphasized that such broad international representation is not accidental, as today the fats and oils industry is at the center of the global food agenda.According to him, trips to the country's agricultural regions and meetings with agricultural producers confirm the large-scale changes taking place in the domestic agro-industrial complex. Kazakhstan is consistently transitioning from raw material exports to the production of high value-added products, the development of deep processing, and the exploration of new export markets.The results of this transformation are already noticeable at the international level. Last year, Kazakhstan entered the ranks of the world's largest exporters of sunflower oil, providing about 3.6% of global exports of this product and securing a place among the leading suppliers on the global market. In the Chinese market, the republic took second place among sunflower oil exporters, strengthening trade and economic cooperation between the two countries. Exports of fats and oils products and oilseeds increased by 70% over the year, becoming one of the most striking examples of successful economic diversification and the development of non-commodity exports.Today, the fats and oils sector is one of the main drivers of growth for the domestic processing industry. In 2025, the production volume of fats and oils products exceeded 1.57 million tons for the first time, and export revenue reached a record $963 million USD. For comparison: back in 2021, this figure was $240 million. Thus, in just four years, the industry's export revenue has increased more than fourfold.Sunflower oil production shows particularly impressive dynamics. Over the past four years, its output has grown 2.3 times and exceeded 752 thousand tons. Simultaneously, Kazakhstan has significantly reduced its dependence on imports: if from 2015 to 2021 the share of imported sunflower oil on the domestic market averaged 39%, today it does not exceed 18%.The fats and oils industry already generates more than a quarter of all foreign exchange earnings from the country's exports of processed agricultural products. In 2025, its contribution reached 27%, making the sector one of the key elements of Kazakhstan's economic resilience.The growth in processing stimulates the development of the entire agro-industrial complex. High demand for oilseeds from domestic enterprises contributes to the expansion of cultivated areas, increased investment in agriculture, and modernization of production capacities. In parallel, the production of deep-processing products is developing, which has a positive impact on related industries - livestock farming, poultry farming, compound feed, and the food industry.Conference participants paid special attention to the issue of food security and price stability. Despite the fact that, according to FAO, from May 2023 to the end of 2025, the global vegetable oil price index increased by 39%, and the cost of sunflower oil on European exchanges rose by 47%, in Kazakhstan, thanks to the joint work of the state and business, it was possible to maintain stable domestic prices. Under the memorandum between the National Association of Oilseed Processors, the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Ministry of Trade and Integration, the wholesale price of sunflower oil for the domestic market has not exceeded 730 tenge per liter for over three years. In February 2026, the price stabilization mechanism was extended until the end of the current year.Today, Kazakh fats and oils products are supplied to more than 20 countries worldwide. The main sales markets are China, Central Asian countries, and the European Union. In 2025, Kazakhstan ranked sixth in the world in sunflower oil exports and second in the Chinese market. Moreover, over the past two years, the republic has become the largest supplier of vegetable oils to Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, providing over 90% of the import of this product in these countries. Kazakhstan also fully meets Central Asia's needs for sunflower meal and is among the top three largest suppliers of this product to the European Union.According to Aset Nusupov, such results have been made possible thanks to consistent state policy and close interaction with business. Last year, together with industry associations, international partners, and JSC "QazTrade", a Roadmap for the Development of Fats and Oils Exports until 2028 was developed. Its implementation will allow the industry's foreign exchange earnings to increase by another 60% in just two years - to over $1.5 billion USD, and for Kazakhstan to secure a place among the world's four largest sunflower oil exporters with the prospect of further entering the global top three.An important part of this strategy is the development of transport and logistics infrastructure. Kazakhstan is consistently expanding the capabilities of the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route, improving railway infrastructure, and modernizing port capacities. In 2026, vegetable oil was transshipped directly onto a sea vessel for the first time at the port of Aktau. Simultaneously, with the support of KTZ, trial shipments of granulated sunflower meal to China via the Dostyk – Alashankou border crossing began. Another important achievement was the country's first container shipment of sunflower oil in flexitanks from the East Kazakhstan region to China's Jiangsu province. The 4,700-kilometer route was completed in just 12 days, confirming the high potential of modern logistics solutions.The geography of trade opportunities for domestic producers is also expanding. Today, free trade agreements with Vietnam, Serbia, and Iran are in effect for Kazakh businesses. Last year, new agreements were signed with the United Arab Emirates, Mongolia, and Indonesia. Furthermore, negotiations on the creation of a free trade zone with India are ongoing, opening up additional prospects for Kazakh exporters in one of the world's largest markets.Separately, the Vice Minister highlighted the high indicators of oilseed exports. Just from September to April of the current season, flax exports amounted to about one million tons worth almost $500 million. The main buyers were China and European Union countries. Rapeseed exports for the same period exceeded 200 thousand tons, with key destinations including China, Poland, Latvia, and other European states.The National Product Catalog - a digital product identification system - is becoming an important tool for increasing trade transparency. Using sunflower oil as an example, it eliminates discrepancies in product names and ensures a unified approach to its classification both in the domestic market and in export operations. According to estimates by international analytical agencies, the global vegetable oil market will maintain steady growth in the coming years. Global consumption already exceeds 220 million tons annually and continues to increase. This creates additional opportunities for further strengthening Kazakhstan's position on the global food market.Conference participants note that the domestic fats and oils industry has become a clear example of how consistent development of processing, the introduction of modern technologies, and a focus on exporting high value-added products can ensure sustainable economic growth, expansion of supply geography, and strengthening of the country's food security.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mti/press/news/details/1235282?lang=ru
