From Agreement to Action: Advancing the Westland-Aktobe Partnership

The Municipality of Westland welcomed a delegation of deputies from the Maslikhat (local Parliament) of Aktobe and a representative from Kokshetau, led by Ms. Anar Darzhanova – Chairman of the Maslikhat of Aktobe city, reports Dutch Greenhouse Delta. The delegation was accompanied by representatives of the Embassy of the Republic of Kazakhstan in the Netherlands, led by His Excellency Ambassador Mr. Kairat Abdrakhmanov.

The visit focused on Dutch horticulture, greenhouse technologies, and water management practices—key areas of interest for Aktobe. In 2023, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed to explore collaboration between Westland and the Aktobe region. Today’s visit marked a significant step toward putting this agreement into action.

Aktobe is already demonstrating successful cases of Dutch greenhouse technologies in operation. Several modern greenhouses are thriving in the region, proving the effectiveness of advanced agribusiness solutions. One such example is GreenCapital Kazakhstan, managed by FoodVentures, a company specializing in running high-tech greenhouses worldwide. After six years of operation in Kazakhstan, the company has achieved results that can compete with greenhouse production in the Netherlands.

It was inspiring to see the enthusiasm of our distinguished guests, who shared the potential of their region and explored new opportunities for collaboration. With such strong examples already in place, the future of Dutch-Kazakh horticultural cooperation looks brighter than ever!
