From the field to a shelf in China
Five steps every pack goes through.
-
01
Wheat
The raw material is high-quality Kazakh flour. Grain is processed at home, and the finished product goes abroad.
-
02
Flour
The mill is right next to the site, so flour arrives directly, without long hauls.
-
03
Noodles
Two lines with equipment and technology from Xiangnian’s existing factory in China.
-
04
Border
Konaev is close to the transport crossings into China. Finished goods ship in containers.
-
05
Shelf
In China, Xiangnian sells the noodles through its own wholesale and retail network in major cities.
100% exported to China
Xiangnian guarantees the sale of all output through its own distribution.

According to China Daily, Xiangnian products are sold in 22 Chinese provinces and cities.
Why Kazakhstan
Flour costs less in Kazakhstan than in China, by up to 30%. That gives the plant price headroom in the Chinese market.
