On 10 May in Astana, contracts were signed by Kazakhstan and the Netherlands to promote bilateral relations in both agriculture and healthcare, reported Kazakh Invest.
The Ministry of Agriculture of Kazakhstan and the Dutch company VISCON signed a memorandum of understanding to implement the construction of an automated center for crop production. Employing artificial intelligence technologies and in vitro cultivation methods, the project will improve the sustainability, quality, and yield of crops in Kazakhstan. Running from 2024-2030, the initiative is set to produce 12 million seedlings annually.
The Ministry of Agriculture also signed a contract with Royal GD to modernize Kazakhstan’s current veterinary service. By upgrading quality control, the joint project will ensure that Kazakhstan’s livestock products meet international standards and hence, boost its exportation to Western markets.
With regard to the nation’s health, the Ministry of Healthcare of Kazakhstan and Royal Philips signed a memorandum of cooperation through which the Dutch company will localize the production of portable ultrasound devices in Kazakhstan.
