Development Bank of Kazakhstan (JSC “Development Bank of Kazakhstan”, DBK / kdb.kz) discloses on public project card PROJECT_ID=15206 a pre-export facility for TOO Kazmeal LTD. The project name is the export operation “Pre-export financing of TOO Kazmeal LTD”. Project cost and DBK participation are each CNY 45.0 million. The instrument is a credit line in Chinese yuan at 5.9% per annum for 36 months from the date the agreement opening the credit line is concluded. The stated purpose is financing purchases of raw materials (wheat, barley, bran, oilcake/meal) linked to production of export feed flour (кормовая мука).
Borrower own participation and other lenders’ participation are marked “Not provided for”. Funding source is the bank’s own funds. Sector: agro-industrial complex; region: North Kazakhstan Region. The card address is Novoişimskoye village, Gabit Musrepov district, Garazhnaya Street 1A. Ultimate beneficiaries: ms. Xia Bing and mr. Pan Yu.
The financing status reads: “Borrower fulfilling suspensive conditions for concluding the Agreement on opening a credit line.” In plain terms, the borrower is still meeting conditions that precede signing the line-opening agreement; the card does not show the agreement as concluded, and the disclosure must not be read as a disbursement or funds already received. The 36-month tenor starts from the signing date — until then the clock does not run.
Independent outlet Kursiv (Zhanbolat Mamyshev, 15 October 2026, 17:58) writes from the bank disclosure and adds plant context: the complex is in Novoişimka / Novoişimskoye, Gabit Musrepov district; launched in 2019; capacity about 360 thousand tonnes of compound feed a year; feedstock includes class 4–5 wheat and related inputs. Kursiv also converts CNY 45 million to roughly KZT 3 billion at the National Bank rate — a media estimate, not DBK card wording. Pravda.Ru also relayed the bank’s account the same day.
Rules related to this news
Shareholders and beneficiaries should be kept apart. Kursiv lists co-owners at the time of writing as K-Agro Holding, Fort and Panasia Impex PTE Ltd; the bank card’s ultimate beneficiaries are Xia Bing and Pan Yu. Other group plans (including oil-extraction projects) are outside this item: here the story is only the pre-export line for feed flour and its present status.
For readers tracking CNY trade finance in agribusiness exports, the signal is that the bank is prepared to cover raw-material purchases entirely with a yuan credit line, while the public status remains at the suspensive-conditions stage. Signing and any drawdowns will appear only if DBK updates the project card.
