Kazakhstan’s Agriculture Minister Aidarbek Saparov and Tajikistan’s Agriculture Minister Kurbon Khakimzoda discussed boosting agricultural exports, supplying processed products and developing joint agribusiness projects. The talks took place during Tajik President Emomali Rahmon’s official visit to Kazakhstan.

Agricultural product supplies between the two countries rose by 11% in 2025 to about $600 million, accounting for half of their total trade turnover. The sides also discussed establishing complete production chains for processing agricultural products.

A key issue was increasing shipments of Kazakh grain. The sides discussed expanding cooperation under a contract between JSC NC Food Contract Corporation and Tajikistan’s Agency for State Material Reserves to supply 100,000 tonnes of wheat. They agreed to step up efforts to increase deliveries in line with demand in the Tajik market.

The two sides also expressed interest in expanding mutual supplies of processed goods and finished food products. A roadmap for 2027–2028 envisages cooperation in crop production, seed production and breeding, improving livestock productivity, and strengthening veterinary and phytosanitary security.

After the talks, the Tajik delegation visited Rodina Agrofirm LLP. The visitors were shown the company’s full production cycle, from growing crops and producing its own feed to manufacturing and processing livestock products.

The delegation took particular interest in the dairy complex, which has a robotic milking carousel made by Swedish brand DeLaval. Launched in January 2025, it can hold 80 cattle at once and serve up to 2,000 cows in five hours. Twelve specialists run the complex per shift.
