Kazakhstan and Tajikistan have agreed to deepen agricultural cooperation under a new 2027-2028 roadmap signed during high-level talks on November 7.

The roadmap was among 20 bilateral documents signed in the presence of the Presidents of Kazakhstan and Tajikistan, marking a new step in strengthening cooperation between the two countries, according to Khovar.

The agreement aims to expand trade and cooperation across several key areas, including crop production, livestock farming, veterinary services and agricultural research.

The initiative is also expected to increase supplies of agricultural and food products to the markets of both countries while strengthening cooperation in animal health and monitoring the regional epizootic situation.

Particular attention will be given to agricultural science and technology. Researchers from Kazakhstan and Tajikistan will work together to improve livestock breeding and productivity, while exchanging experience in seed production and crop variety testing.

The roadmap also envisages the exchange of expertise in grain cultivation, horticulture and the introduction of digital technologies into agriculture.

Both countries plan to strengthen professional training in virology, microbiology, genetics, animal breeding, seed production and aquaculture.

The programme also envisages joint conferences, training seminars and information exchanges covering crop and livestock production, veterinary and phytosanitary control, fisheries and advanced agricultural technologies.

The agreement comes amid growing trade ties between the two countries. Agricultural trade between Kazakhstan and Tajikistan exceeded $564 million in January-September 2026, marking a 32.5% increase compared with the same period last year.
