Belgium doubles pear exports to Kazakhstan in February

Belgium keeps on expanding its presence in the Kazakh pear market under conditions of Russia's ban on imports.

Kazakhstan has more than doubled imports of Belgian pears in February 2015 compared with the same month of the previous year. The import volumes exceeded 1,000 tons against just 508 tons in February 2014.

It should be noted that Belgium keeps on leading in pear exports to Kazakhstan in the current season with the share of about 34% in Kazakhstan's total pear imports since the beginning of the season. Belgium's cumulative exports to Kazakhstan totaled 5,100 tons in July 2014 – February 2015, three times as high as registered in the same period of the previous season.
