Around
13 million hectares of fields, or 75 percent of grain crops, were harvested in
Kazakhstan, as announced at the operational headquarters for the harvesting
campaign. Overall, over 20 million tonnes of grain have been threshed to date.
Almost 3.5 million tonnes have been delivered to elevators, including about 2.5
million tonnes of wheat. Nearly 95 percent of the received barley is of the
second grade. The Food Contract Corporation has been instructed to announce the
forward purchase price for this grain as soon as possible. Additionally,
oilseeds, vegetables, melons, gourds, and potatoes have also been harvested.
Notably, the preferential financing for spring fieldwork and harvesting has
reached 580 billion tenge, nearly three times more than in previous years. The
grain harvest is expected to be completed by the end of October, followed by
the harvesting of oilseeds.
