NUR-SULTAN – Five Kazakh companies plan to export beef and lamb meat to Saudi Arabia as a result of bilateral cooperation between the Kazakh Ministry of Agriculture and the Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA), reported the Kazakh Ministry of Agriculture on Aug. 8.
The Kazakh meat-processing companies of Altyn Kazyk from the Akmola Region, Aktobe Meat Cluster from the Aktobe Region, Meat Processing and Service and Empire Food from the Almaty Region, and Kublei from the West Kazakhstan Region are included in the register of enterprises certified to export lamb and beef to Saudi Arabia.
