The trade ministers of Iran and Kazakhstan discussed enhancing trade relations between their countries.

“We see great potential in increasing trade turnover with Iran to 3 billion dollars. We are ready to offer more than 60 product positions, including grains, sunflower oil, meat products, and other goods worth 162 million dollars for supply to the Iranian market,” noted Minister Arman Shakkaliev.

He emphasized that Kazakhstan is actively implementing the agreements reached by the leaders of both countries. Iran is one of Kazakhstan's key partners in the Middle East.

As of the end of November 2024, the trade turnover between Kazakhstan and Iran amounted to 296 million US dollars, which is an 8.1% increase compared to the same period last year. Exports from Kazakhstan to Iran also showed significant growth, rising by 29.1%, totaling 100.6 million US dollars.

The main products supplied from Kazakhstan to Iran include barley, wheat, rapeseed seeds, fresh or chilled beef, sunflower oil, corn, lamb, goat meat, and beef.
