Kazakhstan and Spain Forge Stronger Agricultural Trade and Tech Ties

Kazakhstan and Spain have pledged to strengthen their agricultural ties after a high-level meeting in Paris. Ministers from both countries explored ways to boost trade, investment, and technological cooperation in farming. The talks took place during the 93rd WHO General Session, with a focus on expanding bilateral trade in key sectors.

Aydarbek Saparbekov, Kazakhstan’s Minister of Agriculture, met with Spain’s Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Food, Luis Planas. Their discussions covered the current state of agricultural cooperation and future strategic opportunities. Planas reiterated Spain’s commitment to deepening ties with Kazakhstan in farming and agribusiness.

Kazakhstan signalled its readiness to increase exports of grains, oilseeds, processed foods, and animal feed to Spain. The country’s agricultural exports to Spain had already doubled in 2025, with grain, legumes, and essential oils leading the way. Both sides also looked at expanding cooperation in agritech, irrigation, food processing, and livestock breeding. Investment was a major topic, with Kazakhstan eager to launch joint projects with Spanish firms. One key initiative involves Big Farm LLP, which is developing a €132 million meat production complex in the Akmola Region. The project is expected to create 250 jobs and integrate modern farming solutions. The ministers agreed to foster closer links between government agencies, businesses, and research institutions. They also explored collaboration in genetic selection, veterinary medicine, and sustainable farming practices.

The meeting concluded with a shared commitment to active engagement in agricultural trade and innovation. Both countries will now work on implementing joint projects and strengthening direct ties between their farming sectors. The discussions set a clear path for deeper cooperation in the coming years.
