Welcome Letters 2012
Dear participants, guests and organisers!
On behalf of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan let me greet and congratulate all participants and organisers with the opening of food exhibition WorldFood Kazakhstan and agriculture exhibition AgroWorld Kazakhstan.
First of all, I would like to congratulate everybody with the Anniversary of WorldFood Kazakhstan, which has been demonstrating industry achievements, up-to-date equipment and technologies throughout 15 years; besides, every year it gives a good opportunity to foreign partners and leading producers to exchange the expertise.
Agriculture development in Kazakhstan is under focused attention of the Government, as agriculture plays a significant role in Kazakhstan economy and the entire Central Asian region. That is why exhibitions in this sector are progressing rapidly.
AgroWorld Kazakhstan exhibition is a very important project in agriculture sector, namely in animal husbandry, poultry, veterinary and fodder sectors. The forum serves as an informative platform for farmers and all other participants of the market.
I am confident that interesting business programme of the exhibition with the participation of leading specialists of the industry will enable promotion of domestic production and improvement of its quality and assortment. I wish everybody successful and fruitful work, achievement of your goals, and useful meetings!

Dear Exhibitors, Guests and Organisers,
On behalf of KAZNEX INVEST National Export and Investment Agency under the Ministry of Industry and New Technologies of Kazakhstan, I would like to extend my congratulations to all exhibitors, guests and organisers on the opening of the WorldFood Kazakhstan and AgroWorldKazakhstan International Forums and the AGRICA Agricultural Conference, which Almaty traditionally hosts in autumn.
Kazakhstan is very well prepared to compete in the global market with such goods as flour, macaroni products, fruit and vegetables, fish, dairy products, and confectionery. Such confidence is supported by the stable development of the agricultural industry – it meets the domestic needs and boasts strong capabilities for growth.
Specifically, the amount of local macaroni products exported to 16 countries worldwide ramps up annually. The exports of finished flour and milk products and baked goods have grown by almost 30 percent over the previous year. The exports of oil seeds, fruits and wool have demonstrated the same growth level.
I would like to note that KAZNEX INVEST provides comprehensive support to local food manufacturers in their efforts to enter foreign markets. We assist them in determining sales markets and finding end buyers, and we also compensate the costs incurred by exporters. With our direct support, local food products are exported on a regular basis to Russia, China, Central Asia, Caucasian region, and South East Asia.
I am hopeful that such exhibitions and conferences will serve as an efficient ground to share best practices of international and local manufacturers and as such will enhance recognisability of Kazakhstan products.
I wish success and prosperity to all exhibitors and guests!

Dear Exhibitors and Guests of WorldFood Kazakhstan 2012,
On behalf of the Meat and Dairy Union of the Republic of Kazakhstan, please let me greet all exhibitors and visitors of the 15th Central Asian International Food Industry Exhibition – WorldFood Kazakhstan 2012!
Today, the most pressing issues facing the dairy and meat production industry are the improvement of production technologies coupled with employment of automated processes, raw materials and energy saving, minimising risks, productivity enhancement, development and implementation of state-of-the-art marketing techniques, and logistics. To a large extent, tackling these issues is much facilitated by WorldFood Kazakhstan 2012, where the said sector accounts for 50% of the total display area.
It is worth noting that the meat and dairy sector at WorldFood Kazakhstan 2012 is growing and gaining strength with every coming year. Thanks to the Exhibition, consumers and producers become more informed and demanding to the quality of products. Annually, large numbers of companies come from Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus. And every year, the Exhibition becomes increasingly interesting and attractive.
I warmly congratulate everyone on the 15th anniversary of the Exhibition! I wish the exhibitors fruitful work, creative meetings, and successful implementation of their plans on the way to achieve competitiveness.
Ivan Sauer
Chairman of the Board
Meat and Dairy Union Association

It also serves as an annual ground to exchange best practices with foreign counterparts and the industry's leading manufacturers.
In Kazakhstan, the agricultural development is in the highlight as it plays a significant role in the economy of the country and even of the entire Central Asian region. That is why the exhibitions in this sector are developing rapidly and dynamically.
