A new soft drink production plant is set to be built in the Almaty region as part of a major investment initiative by global beverage giants Carlsberg Group and PepsiCo.
The project was a key topic of discussion during a recent meeting between Roman Sklyar, First Deputy Prime Minister of Kazakhstan, and Jesper Vahr, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Kingdom of Denmark to the Russian Federation, Kazakhstan, and Turkmenistan.
The proposed plant will have an annual production capacity of 340mn liters and involve over $250mn in investments. It is expected to create approximately 500 new jobs in the region.
Ambassador Vahr emphasized that the construction of a high-tech production facility will bring significant benefits to Kazakhstan’s economy.
He noted that the plant would not only increase the added value of locally sourced agricultural products but also promote the development of related industries and provide a stable sales platform for domestic producers. Additionally, the project aims to enhance the country’s export capabilities.
The initiative reflects growing interest from European investors in Kazakhstan’s industrial and agri-processing sectors and aligns with the country's broader goals of diversifying its economy and attracting foreign direct investment.
