Nine established Iranian food companies are taking part in this year's event, highlighting the growing presence of Iranian products in regional markets.
Amir Shafiei, export manager of Sunich, told Iran Press that the company has been exporting its products to international markets for years and maintains an active presence in Kazakhstan alongside Russian competitors.
He said the diversity of Sunich products has been well received by Kazakh consumers.
Shenar Mirzikunova, head of a distribution company in Kazakhstan, said her company had been distributing products from an Iranian dairy manufacturer for the past decade.
She described Iranian food products as diverse and high-quality, adding that despite strong competition from Asian and European brands in Kazakhstan, consumers who try Iranian products often become regular customers.
Reza Nasiri, export manager of Shirin Asal, said the company's participation aims to introduce Iranian products and strengthen their competitiveness in the markets of Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) countries and the Eurasian region.
Meanwhile, Arash Mousazadeh, executive manager of an Iranian company operating in Kazakhstan, highlighted significant opportunities for expanding trade between Iran and Kazakhstan in wheat and oilseeds.
The Kazakhstan International Food Expo 2026 is being held from November 11 to 13 at the Almaty Exhibition Center, providing a platform for international companies to showcase products, establish business contacts and explore new trade opportunities.
