Kazakhstan simplifies certification of organic products for farmers
On January 27, Atameken NCE, Carlsberg Kazakhstan and the Union of Organic Producers signed an agreement on the development of organic production in Kazakhstan. The document is aimed at creating favourable business conditions, increasing farmers' competitiveness and environmental sustainability.
The purpose of the agreement is to develop a system of joint guarantees (Participant Guarantee System, PGS). In other words, a certification mechanism for organic products is being introduced, based on transparency and the involvement of farmers, consumers and experts.
The cooperation is aimed at simplifying the certification of organic products using PGS, the introduction of modern environmentally friendly technologies, as well as strengthening environmental safety and increasing soil fertility.
According to Carlsberg Kazakhstan, business participation in such projects not only contributes to environmental protection, but also demonstrates the importance of interaction between the private sector and society to address key challenges in the field of sustainable development.
"We see great potential in organic production for Kazakhstan, not only in creating high-quality products, but also in strengthening the ecological foundation of agriculture. Our partnership is a contribution to the future of the country, where sustainable development is becoming a priority for business and society," said Vyacheslav Maltsev, President of Carlsberg Kazakhstan.
