(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 7. Kazakhstan is willing to assist McDonald's to retain the global
fast-food restaurant operations in the country, trend reports, citing the
press service of the Ministry of Agriculture of Kazakhstan.
According to the statement issued by the ministry, the
government is willing to accelerate the procedures necessary for
importing the production from third states into Kazakhstan in order
to alleviate the supply issues experienced by the fast-food
giant.
“Kazakh producers of meat and dairy products have
already begun work to bring production in line with the
requirements of McDonald's. At the beginning of 2023, the auditing
of enterprises was supposed to take place. However, due to the
closure of McDonald's, the planned audit did not take place”, the
statement said.
McDonald's is forced to import production as a result
of internal guidelines, which strictly regulate the quality of meat
and dairy products. Meanwhile, Kazakh producers would have to
undergo expensive certification, without any guarantee of being
chosen by McDonald's.
Meanwhile, McDonald's announced its intention to cease
operations in Kazakhstan on January 5, due to the supply chain
issues. The press service of“Food Solutions KZ” LLP, the operator
of the fast-food chain in Kazakhstan, disclosed that the
restaurants will be re-opened under a different brand at a later
date.
