Chairwoman of the Council of Businesswomen of NCE Lazzat Ramazanova has put forward the idea of creation of an image of Kazakhstan as a country that produces organic food supply and suggested businesswoman of Mangystau to use this opportunity in the region.
"In Russia, the United Arab Emirates and China, Kazakhstan is already associated with organic food. The price of gas in Mangistau is the lowest that gives the opportunity to develop greenhouses. You have 40% of camels in Kazakhstan, then you need to make shubat, қurt, іrіmshіk and balkaymak, processed wool. After all, these are eco products, which are in great demand in the global market ", - said Lazzat Ramazanova.
In her opinion, it is necessary to conduct a market analysis to determine precisely those products which can be called "eco". She also stressed that it is necessary to begin with own market before going out to foreign markets, as today 70% of food products are imported.
