In 2024/25 MY (marketing year), Kazakhstan will export about 580 thousand tons of durum wheat, which is 63% higher than the previous season (355 thousand tons). This forecast was announced by the head of the Analytics Committee of the Grain Union of Kazakhstan, Yevgeny Karabanov, during the International Conference "Astyk 2025" held in Kostanay region.This will be the second highest figure after the record 2022/23 MY, when Kazakhstan shipped 646 thousand tons of durum wheat to foreign markets, the expert specified.The main buyer of Kazakhstani durum is Italy. Over the 10 months of the current season, about 400 thousand tons have already been shipped in this direction (last season for the same period - about 317 thousand tons).Since the beginning of 2025, the Food Corporation has sold more than 850 thousand tons of grain on the domestic market and for export. Such data was announced by the company's managing director Tobylbek Omarov."In the first half of 2025, the corporation sold over 850 thousand tons of grain. Of this volume, over 200 thousand tons were shipped to foreign markets, which is twice as much as in the same period in 2024. The geography of export deliveries covers strategically important areas. Thus, the company's main partners are government agencies of China, Iran, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan," said T. Omarov.This year, Kazakhstan expects a record harvest of sunflower seeds – at the level of 1.7 million tons. This forecast was announced by the executive director for strategic development of the National Association of Oilseed Processors (NAPPC) Andrey Antonov.With such a gross oilseed harvest, Kazakhstan will be in 6th place in the world in sunflower seed production, almost catching up with Turkey, where the harvest is forecast at 1.8 million tons.As the speaker specified, the TOP-4 world sunflower producers in 2025/26 MY will traditionally include the Russian Federation (gross harvest forecast is 18 million tons), Ukraine (13.1 million tons), EU countries (9.5 million tons) and Argentina (4.3 million tons).After Kazakhstan introduced a duty on sunflower seed exports, one of the top importers, Uzbekistan, sharply reduced imports of Kazakh oilseeds and increased purchases of unrefined sunflower oil. At the same time, Uzbek businessmen are actively opening oilseed processing plants in Kazakhstan for the purpose of further exporting oils to Uzbekistan. This was reported by Alisher Makhmudov, an expert on the agricultural market and logistics of Uzbekistan."A lot of our partners are building oil factories here in Kazakhstan - Petropavlovsk, Ust-Kamenogorsk, Shymkent and other cities. The founders are our Uzbek businessmen. They will process oilseeds in Kazakhstan and send finished products to Uzbekistan," the expert said.According to him, the total consumption of vegetable oils in Uzbekistan today is about 491 thousand tons. Of this volume, 251 thousand tons are produced from local raw materials, 98 thousand tons - from imported oilseeds and another 142 thousand tons are imported as finished products. There are 509 oil and fat enterprises in the republic.Thanks to the introduction of transport subsidies, Kazakhstani grain exporters have managed to increase loading in the current season to previously poorly represented destinations: such as Azerbaijan, Aktau port (to Iran), Baltic ports (and further to Europe). This was reported by Zhandos Kuanyshev, Vice President for Commercial Work at Astyk Trans JSC (the largest grain carrier operator in Kazakhstan).He also noted that despite the increase in grain transportation to Central Asia, the share of this direction has decreased, which became possible due to a competent state policy on diversification of new markets."The opportunity to enter new markets led to an increase in prices on the domestic market, which actually leveled out the amount of transport subsidies originally intended to cover transport costs. Thus, the amount of transport subsidies intended to cover transport costs for loading over long distances actually led to an increase in domestic prices," said the representative of Astyk Trans.Let us recall that the largest International Conference in the region, “Astyk 2025”, was held within the framework of the International Agricultural Exhibition and Demonstration “Jańa Dala / Qarqyn ‘2025”. The forum of grain market participants was held on the demonstration fields of Vostok-1 LLP and Agrofirma Qarqyn LLP in the Mendykarinsky district of the Kostanay region.A large-scale event on the eve of the start of the new grain season for the first time brought together more than 500 agricultural producers, representatives of companies engaged in the purchase, sale and international trade of grain, suppliers of agricultural technologies, machinery and equipment. Traders, agricultural enterprises, farms and agro-formations, elevators, flour mills and other companies directly growing and processing grain took part in the work of "Astyk 2025".A delegation of Uzbek agricultural producers - representatives of the Association of Oil and Fat Industry Enterprises "Uzyogmoysanoat" visited the International Conference "Astyk 2025" to discuss current issues of the agricultural market and establish contacts.The organizers of "Astyk 2025" are the Information and Analytical Agency "APK-Inform", a leader in the market of agricultural information services in the CIS countries, and the company "EXPO TIME", one of the leading organizers of international exhibitions in the field of agro-industrial complex in Kazakhstan._____________________________________________Information Centre "Jańa Dala / Green Day ‘2025",Rinat Tasbulatov, 8-701 460 91 82, e-mail: rinat_tas@mail.ruhttps://expotime.kz https://t.me/jana_dala https://www.instagram.com/jana_dala_greenday/  Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kostanai-mendykarin-audany-akimat/press/news/details/1045659?lang=kk

The deadline for filing documents for reimbursement has been extended to 5 years The new Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan will enter into force on January 1, 2026. At the same time, amendments have been made to the current Tax Code that affect the interests of UAPF beneficiaries and contributors who belong to socially vulnerable categories and have used lump sum pension benefit payments to improve housing conditions and (or) pay for medical treatment (LSPBP)What changes have been made?Individuals belonging to socially vulnerable groups are entitled to apply standard tax deductions to taxable income in the form of lump-sum pension benefit payments. Many of them, when withdrawing LSPBP for housing and (or) medical treatment, paid individual income tax (IIT) immediately upon making the payment. At the same time, from January 1, 2024, standard tax deductions (up to 882 MCI[1]) are applied to the taxable income of such people in the form of LSPBP. This means that recipients belonging to this category can apply with a corresponding application and supporting documents to the UAPF to apply for recalculation and refund of IIT within three years from the date of receiving LSPBP. However, those who withdrew LSPBP in 2021-2022 for various reasons did not have time to do this. Now, in connection with the adoption of amendments and additions to the Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan, from July 15, 2025, the limitation period established for such appeals from individuals has been increased from 3 to 5 years.Who is eligible for IIT refund?The list of individuals entitled to a refund of IIT is defined by the current Tax Code. These are individuals with disabilities of the first, second or third groups, one of the parents or guardians of children with disabilities, one of the adoptive parents, foster parents of orphans, veterans of military events and other categories. The full list of persons is in Article 346 of the Tax Code. Where should you apply?Beneficiaries who, when determining taxable income under the LSPBP, standard tax deductions, if eligible, were not applied, must urgently contact the nearest UAPF branch office with an application and supporting documents for the application of standard tax deductions to recalculate income and reimburse IIT.After applying the standard tax deduction, the IIT will be returned to the beneficiary's individual pension savings account if it was withheld. If deferred IIT was chosen, then the obligation to pay it will be removed upon receipt of monthly pension payments.These changes will be valid until December 31, 2025 (inclusive), since the new Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan comes into force on January 1, 2026          For reference. According to the current Tax Code, pension payments from UAPF are classified as income subject to individual income tax (IIT) at a rate of 10% in accordance with the Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan. IIT is withheld collectively for all types of pension benefits formed from compulsory pension contributions (CPC), compulsory occupational pension contributions (COPC), and voluntary pension contributions (VPC). The same rules apply to lump-sum pension benefit payments (LSPBP) from UAPF for the purpose of improving housing conditions and/or paying for medical treatment.Lump sum pension benefit payment (LSPBP) is the amount of pension savings formed by compulsory pension contributions (and until 01.07.2023, by compulsory occupational pension contributions), withdrawn by the contributor (beneficiary) from the UAPF in order to improve housing conditions and (or) pay for medical treatment in the manner established by the Social Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan.Let us remind you that there are two ways to withhold IIT: immediately upon receipt of the LSPBP and with a delay until retirement. According to the law, the tax agent that calculates the IIT is the UAPF, which can withhold the tax in two ways, depending on the choice of the individual:o 10% of the LSPBP amount is withheld immediately upon payment.o 10% of all used pension savings are withheld after the beneficiary retires. In this case, the tax amount is divided into equal parts and deducted from the beneficiary 's monthly pension benefits for a maximum of sixteen years.How to withhold IIT is decided only by the beneficiary of the LSPBP when submitting an application to the authorized operator.[1] Monthly calculation indicator     Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/akimat-karakiya/press/news/details/1047617?lang=kk
