“Taking into account the closeness of the markets of our neighbors - Russia and Belarus -  we cannot deliver our products to their markets, despite the Customs Union has been operating for five years, though they supply their products to our market freely. “KazAlko” searches for the opportunity to supply our alcoholic products into the third countries,” - said A.

“For example, Vietnam, via Vietnam we consider opportunity to penetrate to other countries of Southeast Asia and India. Last year we entered the Turkish market for the first time,” - he said.
