Kazakhstan plans to acquire advanced drones from Chinese company Suzhou Eavision Robotic Technologies Co. to protect crops. Kazakhstan’s authorities will also cooperate with the China Meat Association following the signing of two memorandums on agricultural cooperation. One of these memorandums is related to technical interaction between the country’s Ministry of Agriculture and Eavision, a Chinese drone manufacturer.
«The company is engaged in developing and manufacturing unmanned aerial vehicles and intelligent robots specially designed to operate outdoors. Intelligent machines and software by Eavision are used in many spheres, including agriculture. Under our agreement, we are going to start using intelligent drones in agriculture, particularly to protect crops,» the press service of the Ministry of Agriculture said in a statement.
Furthermore, Kazakhstani authorities have signed an agreement on technical exchange and cooperation with the China Meat Association. This arrangement is aimed at sharing technologies in the sphere of meat production to enhance meat quality and boost the turnover of commodities.
«The China Meat Association is the national public organization that unites meat manufacturers, public entities and non-commercial organizations in China,» the ministry said.
The membership in this association covers the entire chain of meat production: livestock breeding, slaughtering, meat processing, logistics, imports and exports, machines and equipment for the meat industry, packaging materials, as well as institutes and colleges, provincial and municipal food companies and regional meat associations.
Kazakhstan and China are also intensifying their cooperation in the sphere of wind energy as the two sides plan to launch production of wind power station components such as towers, nacelles and blades. The country has already signed a corresponding agreement with SANY Renewable Energy, a subsidiary of SANY Group, a large machinery producer in China.
On July 2, YTO Express, a Chinese logistics company, announced plans to construct a new fulfillment center in Kazakhstan. Once this project is completed, it will be one of the biggest in Central Asia, significantly reducing delivery time for goods throughout the region, the Eurasian Economic Union and the EU, the project’s authors said.
According to Wang Wentao, the Chinese Minister of Commerce, during President Xi Jinping’s state visit to Kazakhstan, the two countries would sign a road map covering various industries, including trade, energy, agriculture and transportation.
