Kazakhstan
is set to increase grain exports abroad, particularly to China, with a target
of three million tons. Kazakhstan primarily supplies wheat to China’s border
and central provinces, while barley and feed crops are distributed throughout
this country. Over the first nine months of this year, Kazakhstan sent five
million tons of grain abroad, alongside more than two million tons of milled
products. Central Asia remains the top buyer of Kazakh grain, with China second
and Afghanistan third, having purchased 127,000 tons. Additionally, 423,000
tons were exported to Italy, Türkiye, and Russia, while grain supplies to Iran
have resumed. Milled products were similarly bought by the countries of the
region, China, and Afghanistan. In the latter, Kazakhstan plans to increase
flour supplies.
