Abstract

<p>The organic produce market is developing globally from year to year. The organic&nbsp;produce markets in Kazakhstan and the rest of Central Asia are at different stages of forming and&nbsp; development. Although there are certain achievements in this area, there are various common and&nbsp;local problems, for example, maintaining international standards for organic products, updates&nbsp;on the state of the art of the domestic and regional markets, as well as different approaches to&nbsp;providing of organic agricultural produce and pricing policy. This study is aimed at exploring&nbsp;and reviewing organic agricultural produce in the republics of Central Asia and Kazakhstan, as&nbsp;well as at assessing potentials for developing the regional organic produce market at an account&nbsp;of specific features of the agricultural sector and conceptual approaches of each republic. The&nbsp;paper also suggests a model and an infrastructure for a regional market that will ensure effective&nbsp;<br /> functioning of the market across the region and in each of the republics.</p>
