During the China International Import Expo (CIIE-2025), the Kazakhstan Trade Policy Development Center QazTrade and the Chinese company Optimize Integration Group (OIG) from Shenzhen signed a Memorandum of Cooperation.
The main goal of the agreement is to develop digital trade between Kazakhstan and China, creating online platforms and tools that will help Kazakhstani products enter the Chinese market faster and more conveniently. The parties agreed to jointly promote Kazakhstani food and agricultural products, improve logistics, and develop modern technologies and settlement systems.
OIG Group is one of the largest and most technologically advanced companies in China’s food import sector. The company is among the TOP 500 largest enterprises in the country, works with 31,000 suppliers worldwide, and has 15 offices in China and 11 foreign representative offices. Through the OIG platform, 18% of all frozen products imported into China are traded. This means every seventh beef steak, every sixth chicken breast, and every fifth shrimp on the Chinese market.
According to QazTrade CEO Aitmukhamed Aldazharov, cooperation with OIG opens new opportunities for Kazakhstan:
“OIG is one of the most technologically advanced and influential trading platforms in China. Thanks to this partnership, Kazakhstani producers will not only increase exports to China but also become part of modern digital supply chains. This is a major step toward developing e-commerce and strengthening trust between our countries.”
The China International Import Expo (CIIE) has been held for the eighth consecutive year and is one of the world’s largest trade platforms. This year, companies from more than 150 countries and regions are participating, and Kazakhstan is represented in three pavilions. The participation of domestic producers was organized with the support of QazTrade.
The signing of the memorandum with OIG has become an important step in expanding digital and trade cooperation between Kazakhstan and China, opening new opportunities for increasing exports of domestic products.
