Kazakhstan and Netherlands Sign Eight Commercial Documents
Kazakhstan and the Kingdom of the Netherlands signed eight commercial documents aimed at promoting bilateral relations in agriculture, healthcare, ecology, and education, reported the Kazakh Invest on May 10.
The Kazakh Ministry of Agriculture has partnered with the Dutch company VISCON to launch a project aimed at constructing an automated center for producing planting material that is free from viruses, utilizing artificial intelligence (AI). This initiative is expected to enhance the sustainability, quality, and yield of crops by incorporating AI technologies and in vitro cultivation methods. Scheduled for implementation from 2024 to 2026, the project aims to achieve an annual production capacity of 12 million seedlings.
Additionally, the ministry has entered into an agreement with Royal GD to strengthen Kazakhstan's veterinary system. This collaborative effort involves the modernization of the country's veterinary infrastructure to ensure the quality control of livestock products in accordance with international standards, thereby facilitating the export of domestic products to Western markets.
Furthermore, Dutch companies have expressed intentions to invest 15 million euros (US$16.2 million) in healthcare and environmental projects in the Kyzylorda Region.
“The telemedicine project will consist of using an application from Dutch partners. This should lead to an improvement in the well-being of the population,” said Zebeshev.(Source:astanatimes)
