Turkish confectionery, lokum, Dubai-style bars and dragées for Kazakh importers
One mixed container from Gaziantep, Türkiye, into Kazakhstan: lokum at the pistachio end, Dubai-style bars, chocolate dragées and sugared almonds by colour, and bulk cartons for the wholesale trade — with the label content prepared in Kazakh and Russian.
One container, every line, from Gaziantep.
Kazakhstan imports about 529 million dollars of chocolate a year and roughly 152 million of sugar confectionery — the largest table in Central Asia. Türkiye is already the third source of chocolate at about 7.8 per cent and the fourth in confectionery at about 4.9 per cent.
The structural fact is where the rest comes from: Russia carries about 63 per cent of the chocolate and 58 per cent of the confectionery, with Ukraine second. Much of what reaches a Kazakh shelf has passed through a Russian distributor first.
A direct container is therefore a choice about the list rather than a price argument: you name the lines and the label is prepared for your brand in Kazakh and Russian.
We supply direct from our own factory in Gaziantep, the city we work in.
- Importers and distributors adding a Turkish line to an existing confectionery list.
- Wholesalers supplying independent grocers and the weighed counter, who buy in bulk cartons.
- Turkish and oriental food shops that already sell the category and want a direct container.
- Retail chains and marketplaces taking the Dubai-style bar and gift boxes as a listing.
- Own-brand buyers who want the same lines under their own label.
Six lines, mixed to your list.
Each line travels on its own pallet; the container is mixed. Outside the core range we source on request and load it in the same shipment.

What stays the same on every offer.
Rates and rules change; the quotation states what applies on the day. These points do not change.
- Entry and the framework
- The country is a member of the Eurasian Economic Union, so the pack is governed by the Union's technical regulations on food safety and labelling and carries the EAC conformity mark; the declaration of conformity is held on the importing side. The offer names the customs tariff heading per line and states what applies on the day it is issued.
- The label is Kazakh and Russian
- The mandatory particulars are in Kazakh and Russian — food name, ingredients with allergens emphasised, net weight, storage, lot and the details of the company placing the goods on the market. We supply our technical data sheet per line as the ground for it; the importer signs it off.
- Where Türkiye sits
- Third source of chocolate at about 7.8 per cent and fourth in sugar confectionery at about 4.9 per cent, on Kazakhstan's own 2025 import figures, at about 6.46 and 3.21 dollars a kilo. The origin is established — this is a supply conversation, not an introduction.
- The shelf runs through Russia
- Russia is the source of about 63 per cent of Kazakhstan's chocolate imports and 58 per cent of its sugar confectionery. That shapes both the assortment and the terms a buyer inherits. A direct container shortens the chain and lets you choose the lines.
- Two label languages
- The mandatory particulars are prepared in Kazakh and Russian, which is what the market expects. The same content work serves both, and the Russian pages of this site cover the language your buying office most likely works in.
- Who the label names
- The company that first places the goods on the market is named on the pack. That is the importer, not the exporter; the certificates are issued for our factory.
- Coating and what the product is called
- A vegetable-fat glaze is not the same product as chocolate, and the name on the pack is checked before printing. The offer says line by line which one the item carries, and the technical data sheet states it in writing.
- Temperature and the season
- Chocolate lines travel at +18/+20 °C and need a reefer in the hot months; in a dry container that risk passes to the buyer in writing before loading. Lokum, dragées and jellied lines go dry all year, so a first order can be built around the season.
- Halal and kosher
- Held for our factory in Gaziantep; copies are available on request.
- Outside the range
- Couverture, bulk chocolate by the kilo, raw nuts, dried fruit, cocoa, empty packaging, baklava, halva and tahini are sourced on request; we confirm composition and format before quoting.
Private label chocolate and confectionery for Kazakh brands
The same lines under your own name, with the label content prepared in Kazakh and Russian and the minimum counted per line.
Private label for Kazakh brands →Asked before the first list.
Are you the manufacturer?
Yes. Chocolate, dragées, pistachio and hazelnut creams, popping candy and Turkish delight are made in our own factory in Gaziantep, and we have exported since 2002. We run your private-label lines, check the lot before packing and load the container at our factory.
What is the minimum?
Set per line and stated in the offer. The unit of production is the line, not the container, so a first order can carry several lines at modest volumes in one mixed load.
Do you prepare the Kazakh and Russian label?
We prepare the content in Kazakh and Russian from our technical data sheet — food name, ingredients with allergens emphasised, net weight, storage and the manufacturer's details. Your labelling office or the importer signs it off, and nothing goes to print without written approval.
What paperwork travels with the load?
The commercial invoice, the packing list by pallet, the batch analysis report and our technical data sheet per line; health, halal and kosher certificates. The offer names the customs tariff heading per line and the documents that travel with the load.
How does the load reach us?
By road or rail through the corridors your forwarder already uses; the offer states the route and the transit time for the order in hand, and the temperature group decides whether a line travels in a reefer.
Can we start with samples?
Yes, and most first orders do. Send the lines you want to see and the destination; samples travel by courier and the proforma follows once the list is settled.
How long does it take?
The lead time is stated in the offer, and counted from the deposit and from your written approval of the artwork — not from the first enquiry.
Is Antep Foods a chocolate manufacturer in Türkiye?
Yes. Antep Foods is a manufacturer and exporter in Gaziantep, exporting since 2002. Production takes place in our own factory; certificates and data sheets are issued for our factory. Wholesale only; prices come in a written offer, not on the site.
Send the list. We do the rest.
Send your product list with approximate quantities and the destination port. You get one offer covering every line, then one container, loaded and photographed before the doors close.
