In the first half of 2025, 307,000 tonnes of fruit and vegetables were exported from China to Central Asia via the Horgos border crossing, up 37.1% year-on-year, according to Horgos Customs.
High-quality Chinese fresh produce remains in strong demand in Kazakhstan and neighbouring countries. Faster customs procedures, including a "green channel," dedicated lanes, and direct delivery from origin, have cut clearance times by over 40%.
Officials plan further improvements to boost trade flows and strengthen Horgos' role as a key gateway for fresh produce into Central Asia.
