Purpose of the research A comprehensive analysis of the structure of meat and meat product production and export in the Turkestan region, identifying the characteristics of their positioning in international markets, as one of Kazakhstan’s key agricultural regions with significant resources for integration into the global agricultural trade system. Methodology The article employs empirical and economic-statistical research methods. The focus on a specific region of Kazakhstan justifies further investigation and analysis of the latest statistical data, while the article's objective logically necessitates the use of the CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) indicator to determine comparative trends. Originality / Value of the research Turkestan Region possesses a growing potential for integration into global supply chains. However, access to international markets remains constrained by barriers that require a comprehensive approach. The study highlights the priority issue of global demand, which provides agrarian regions with opportunities to supply environmentally friendly and certified meat products. The article examines the availability of international certifications and compliance with global standards, the level of implementation of innovative technologies in the livestock and processing industries, and the cause-and-effect relationship: "an increase in meat exports to the country leads to a decrease in availability for consumers in the domestic market; which has caused an increase in meat prices over the past decade." The value of the study lies in the development of scientifically grounded recommendations aimed at enhancing the competitiveness of the Turkestan Region within the global agri-food sector. Findings An analysis of the export performance of meat products from the Turkestan Region was conducted, taking into account the specifics of regional production and the level of international integration, based on current statistical data using the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) indicator. Considering existing stable production trends and global demand, the potential for expanding export activity was assessed with regard to factors such as international product certification, production innovations, and the sustainability of domestic meat supply. Key opportunities were identified to strengthen the region’s position in global agrifood trade.
