He spoke about Baiterek Holding’s subsidiaries that finance the agricultural sector, focusing on what projects are being implemented in cooperation with foreign companies and are financially supported by the Holding. He also called on French investors to invest in Kazakhstan’s agriculture.
– We are interested in fruitful investment cooperation and are ready to consider proposals for financing projects in the agro-industrial complex, under the existing crediting programs. We are also willing to present potential projects in the agro-industrial complex and become a reliable partner in the alliance between our countries. In this regard, I would like to invite French partners to Kazakhstan for collaboration on projects in the agricultural sector, – said Anuar Omarkhodzhaev.
