Despite serious challenges related to HPAI bans, Central Asian traders and meat processors are demonstrating an increasing interest in U.S. poultry. At the FoodExpo-2022 show in Almaty, the USAPEEC booth has become a platform for meetings between FAS Kazakhstan representatives, USAPEEC, and local importers, distributors, meat processors, HRI, and logistics operators.

The centerfold annual event in the regional food market, FoodExpo, registered a record number of exhibitors this year: 450 companies from 32 countries.

USAPEEC organized a market tour for FAS Kazakhstan/Kyrgyzstan staff, visiting importers’ cold stores, wholesale as distribution centers, and logistical infrastructure to assess the supply chain and competitive environment for U.S. poultry products.

FLEECED! Sheep Shearer Hands Over Clippers!

Video: FLEECED! Sheep Shearer Hands Over Clippers!

It's sheep shearing day at Ewetopia Farms! ?? Our Dorset lambs and ewes are getting fleeced — and for the first time, our shearer hands over his clippers to a beginner. We finish shearing the last of our adult ewes and this year’s Dorset ewe lambs.

From moving the sheep between barns, loading them into chutes, and watching the wool come off, this is always one of the most satisfying days on the farm. But this video has a twist — we welcomed a new helper, Gian, who’s not only lending a hand but also learning how to shear! With guidance from our experienced shearer, he got a crash course in sheep shearing and even tried his hand at shearing a couple of lambs himself.

You’ll see firsthand how both teacher and student handled this unique challenge. Shearing is more than just removing wool — it’s about sheep health, comfort, and giving us a closer look at the flock. It’s always amazing to see the transformation from woolly sheep to freshly shorn ewes and lambs.
