KAZAKH INVEST Signed Three Agreements With Italian Partners
During the official visit of the Prime Minister of the Italian Republic, Giorgia Meloni, to Kazakhstan, the national company KAZAKH INVEST signed three major agreements with Italian partners aimed at advancing the agro-industrial sector, boosting exports, and deepening bilateral industrial cooperation.
One of the most significant outcomes was the signing of an agreement with TRAMITE Group, an Italian company implementing a vertically integrated agricultural project in the Shardara district of Turkistan region. The investor plans to develop a 22-hectare greenhouse complex, launch a tomato processing plant with a daily capacity of over 3,000 tons, install alfalfa granulation equipment, and construct modern fruit and vegetable storage facilities as well as a cold storage facility. The project’s second phase will introduce a drip irrigation system on 8,000 hectares. Total investment is expected to reach approximately $180 million. The project will create over 800 jobs, increase regional export capacity, and ensure stable supply for processing facilities.
KAZAKH INVEST also signed a memorandum with the Italian Trade Agency (ICE), which promotes Made in Italy products worldwide and supports foreign companies entering the Italian market. ICE maintains an office in Almaty and actively facilitates B2B missions, sectoral research, and SME support. This agreement will institutionalize communication between Kazakh and Italian entrepreneurs, streamline access of Kazakh products to the Italian market, and strengthen support for exporters.
A third agreement was concluded with Confindustria, Italy’s largest industrial association. The parties agreed to foster direct ties between business communities, implement joint initiatives in digitalization, green technologies, and sustainable production, and promote industrial cooperation in strategic sectors.
Commenting on the agreements, Chairman of the Management Board of KAZAKH INVEST Yerzhan Yelekeyev noted that Italy remains one of Kazakhstan’s key European partners, and these agreements reflect a high level of trust and a shared commitment to tangible joint initiatives.
“We see these agreements as the beginning of a new phase in economic relations between Kazakhstan and Italy. These are not mere declarations — they are concrete steps toward launching real production, creating jobs, and forming export-oriented clusters. KAZAKH INVEST is ready to support each project at every stage — from administrative procedures to promoting products in international markets,” he said.
