Summary
$11.8 billion in non-resource exports from January to May 2026 has prompted Kazakhstan to launch support for placing domestic goods in international chains including Carrefour, Lulu, Gross, Panda and Spinneys.
Trade Minister Arman Shakkaliyev said the next export phase will prioritize finished products abroad, building on a 2.5-fold rise in high-value-added exports over five years to $11.1 billion.
Those higher-value goods now make up 38.8% of non-resource exports, while about 44% of all goods produced in Kazakhstan are already sold overseas.
The ministry is widening export geography across the EAEU, Central Asia, the Middle East, Europe and China, backed by about 10 trade missions a year and an export acceleration program for roughly 120 companies.
