Summary
In June 2023, the Economic Commission for Europe (ECE) secretariat initiated a study identifying regulatory and procedural barriers to trade for exports of vegetable oil from Kazakhstan, aimed at fostering integration into regional and global value chains.
The work is part of the series on national studies prepared under the ECE extra-budgetary project “Fostering Resilient, Diversified and Sustainable Value Chains in the Eurasian Region after COVID-19”. The study’s preliminary findings, including recommendations on enhancing trade facilitation reforms and quality infrastructure, were discussed during the ECE regional workshop that took place on in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan (5–6 March 2024).
The study assesses current and potential export markets and aspects of the frameworks for trade facilitation (including through business process analysis) and the quality infrastructure for trade. The findings aim to assist Kazakhstan in increasing cross-border trade by making trade-related procedures more efficient, with the ultimate objective of reaping benefits from new growth opportunities and delivering on the Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development. This document presents the summary of the study.
