Kazakhstan Strengthens Agricultural Cooperation with Brazil and Argentina

Kazakh officials visited Brazil and Argentina to advance agricultural ties, focusing on livestock breeding, technology exchange, and investment, while highlighting recent trade growth and domestic financial incentives for sector modernization.

Kazakh Deputy Minister of Agriculture Amanagaliy Berdalin undertook a working visit to Brazil and Argentina. In Brazil, the delegation participated in Agrishow 2026, where discussions covered Angus and Hereford cattle breeds, biotechnologies including embryo transfer, and direct imports of breeding livestock to Kazakhstan. Meetings were held with officials from Brazil's Ministry of Agriculture and the Zebu breeding association. Trade turnover in the agri-food sector between Kazakhstan and Brazil rose by 10% in 2025, reaching $89.5 million.

In Buenos Aires, negotiations with Argentina's Ministry of Agriculture focused on technology transfer, scientific collaboration, and joint investment projects. Under Kazakhstan's Comprehensive Livestock Development Plan, the country is offering preferential loans at a 6% annual interest rate and subsidies to modernize the sector.
