Kazakhstan to assemble Belarusian agricultural machines in 2016

        There are plans to set up a facility in Kazakhstan’s Jambyl region in 2016 to assemble Grodno region agricultural machines. The agreement was reached by Grodno region Governor Vladimir Kravtsov and Jambyl region Governor Karim Kokrekbayev, BelTA reports. Karim Kokrekbayev said they had visited enterprises of the holding company Lidselmash and liked very much the agricultural machines made in Grodno region. “I am convinced that for the sake of long-term mutually beneficial cooperation we have to set up a joint venture. The product choice is ideal for us as far as prices and quality are concerned, particularly with regard to individual farmers as well as small and medium agricultural businesses.”
     Lidselmash Director General Yuri Vashkevich specified that the sides intend to implement the new Belarusian-Kazakh project in 2016. A branch of the Belarusian agricultural mechanical engineering holding company will be created in Kazakhstan to make a broad range of Belarusian agricultural machines.
