International cooperation occupies a special place in the structure of exhibitions.

An important event during the exhibition was the signing of a Memorandum between the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Kingdom of the Netherlands  on October 30 - on mutually beneficial cooperation, exchange of experience in the field of poultry farming, the introduction of innovative solutions and the training of qualified industry specialists. This document marked a new stage in strengthening interstate cooperation and the formation of new areas of professional partnership focused on long-term development and increasing the efficiency of agricultural production.

A rich business program held within the framework of AgroWorld Qazaqstan and ColdChain Qazaqstan 2025 included thematic sessions, expert discussions, specialized workshops aimed at considering strategic issues of the development of the agro-industrial complex.
