Kazakhstan and Iraq Approve Veterinary Certificates: Path Opened for Export of Cattle and Small Ruminants

Kazakhstani producers have gained access to a new promising market in the Middle East. The Committee for Veterinary Control and Supervision of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan (MoA RK) has completed the coordination and signing of veterinary certificates with the Iraqi authorities, enabling the export of slaughtered cattle and small ruminants from Kazakhstan.

This achievement is the result of negotiations between the veterinary services of both countries. Now, Kazakhstani farmers and enterprises can supply products to Iraq, expanding their sales network and strengthening economic ties with the region.

Such agreements highlight the reliability of Kazakhstan’s veterinary system. They not only enhance trust among international partners but also contribute to the growth of livestock exports, opening up new opportunities for domestic producers.

For Kazakhstani readers, this event means more than just a new trade line: it stimulates the development of the agro-industrial complex, potentially creating jobs and increasing income in the agricultural sector.
In a globally competitive environment, such steps help strengthen the country’s position in the global market. The Committee for Veterinary Control and Supervision continues negotiations with other countries, responding to exporters’ requests and providing full support to businesses. In the future, this could lead to further market expansion and increased export volumes.
