Kazakhstan and Germany plan to expand practical cooperation in the agro-industrial sector. The prospects for bilateral partnership and priorities for a new phase of engagement were discussed at a meeting of the Kazakhstan-Germany Agricultural Policy Dialogue.
Participants included Kazakhstan’s Vice Minister of Agriculture Talasbek Kanafin; Martina Englhardt-Kopf, Parliamentary State Secretary at Germany’s Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Regional Identity; Germany’s Ambassador to Kazakhstan Heike Renate Peitsch; agricultural researchers from both countries; and representatives of the German Farmers’ Association and agribusiness.
Kanafin said the dialogue, which has been in place since 2009, provides a platform for exchanging experience, discussing agricultural policy and developing practical solutions. Its sixth phase began in September 2026 and is intended to expand regional engagement and expert cooperation on agricultural policy in Central Asia.
