Addressing the Kazakhstan-Bavaria Technology Forum, President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev drew the attention of representatives of Bavaria’s business community to the significant potential of Kazakhstan’s agro-industrial sector, Qazinform News Agency reports, citing the Akorda press service.
Taking into account Bavaria’s advanced expertise in agricultural machinery, precision farming, water-saving technologies and food processing, he proposed launching Kazakhstan-Bavaria model farms focused on producing and processing high-quality agricultural products in line with European standards.
