Exploring Cooperation in Food Production and Logistics Infrastructure

On September 15, Hyundai Green Food announced that it will establish a food manufacturing facility in Alataushi, a new city located in the northern part of Almaty, the largest economic city in Kazakhstan.

On this day, Hyundai Green Food signed a “strategic partnership for the construction of a food production plant” with the Alataushi Administration of Kazakhstan at the Four Seasons Hotel in Seoul.

The signing ceremony was attended by key representatives from both sides, including Hongjin Park, CEO of Hyundai Green Food, and Alisher Abdikaripov, CEO of the Alataushi Administration. The signing was part of the ‘Korea-Kazakhstan Business Roundtable’, with participation from both governments and major corporations, including Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev and South Korean Prime Minister Han Duck-soo.

Through this agreement, Hyundai Green Food plans to establish a K-Food production facility within the Alataushi New City. In addition, the company will explore cooperation with the Alataushi Administration in areas such as food production, logistics infrastructure, and production automation.

The Alataushi Administration is a special administrative agency in Kazakhstan responsible for overall operations, investment attraction, and development of Alataushi. Alataushi, being developed north of Almaty—the country’s largest economic city—is a massive new city designed as a smart city that will feature four major functions: industry, finance, tourism, and education.

CEO Park stated, “Alataushi is a new city being developed as a key logistics hub connecting China and Central Asia to Europe, making it an ideal location for producing K-Food locally and supplying it to neighboring countries. Based on this agreement, we plan to develop the upcoming K-Food production facility as a forward base for K-Food exports to Central Asia in the mid-to-long term.”
