The easing of the COVID-related eligibility regime at Chinese customs posts has allowed Kazakhstan to quadruple the amount of agricultural products exported to the country in 2023 compared to last year.

Most of the deliveries were made by freight trains and some 500,000 tonnes were transported by road.
The retreat of the Chinese market has allowed the Kazakh agricultural sector to emerge from a difficult situation. Due to China’s quarantine regime and payment problems faced by heavily sanctioned Iran, farmers in Kazakhstan have almost exclusively met their Central Asian neighbors as customers. .

China’s purchases extended to Kazakh grain heavily spoiled by adverse weather conditions. Heavy rains last year caused up to 5 million tons of grain to sprout — and only Chinese importers had equipment suitable for processing it.
Yevgeny Karabanov, a representative of the Kazakhstan Grain Union, a lobbying group, is confident that China will become a client.
“China is a huge, solvent market, you never pay for shipments to China,” he told the Eldala news site.

Experts consider this a real prospect against the backdrop of Kazakhstan’s expanding infrastructure capabilities. The two railway crossings — Dostyk-Alashankou and Altynkol-Khorgos — have the capacity to accommodate much more than is currently going through them. Another line to Dostyk now under construction will be launched in a few years.
The only drawback of developing China as an economic partner, Karabanov said, is the sluggishness of the bureaucratic machine and the people running it.
