Iran, Kazakhstan to cooperate in agricultural sector

Xinhua, April 8, 2017 Adjust font size:

Iranian and Kazakh officials have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) here to broaden cooperation in the field of agriculture, semi-official Fars news agency reported on Saturday.

Based on the agreement, Iran's northern province of Golestan and Kazakh side will cooperate to develop agricultural sector in Kazakhstan's Kyzylorda region.

"Kazakhstan holds appropriate capacities for implementation of agriculture activities, especially in the areas of growing rice, corn and barley," Head of Golestan Chamber of Commerce Ramezan Bahrami said.

Bahrami also said a bilateral follow-up meeting would be held in Kazakhstan soon to discuss the implementation of the provisions of the MoU.

In August 2016, an economic delegation of Golestan province made a three-day visit to Mangystau region of Kazakhstan where the two sides voiced readiness to strengthen transactions in agricultural, industrial and tourist fields. Endit
