Qatari Trust for Trading Co. will assist Kazakhstan in developing its camel milk production. The deputy governor of the Turkestan region, Nuralkhan Kusherov, and the CEO of Qatari enterprise, Saleh Jaber Al-Marri, have discussed the issues of camel delivery and breeding.
The company plans to import camels from Qatar and breed them in the Turkestan region for further sale to local farmers. They will supply camel milk to the Golden Camel plant, which was established in 2018 by Chinese investors.
The production capacity is 100,000 tons of camel and mare milk per day. The plant is looking to acquire more of this product. Currently, the facility purchases camel milk at around $1.70 per liter. The milk is processed into tablets and then exported to China.
The governor’s office of the Turkestan region has pledged support for «every project that enhances the region’s economy and contributes to job creation.» If the camel project is successfully implemented, the Qatari enterprise will be granted a site with full infrastructure. Discussions are also underway to offer breeders preferential loans.
