The Food Contract Corporation has concluded an agreement with JSC "KOKSNEA" SEC on the sale of 41.6 thousand liters of refined sunflower oil at a social price. The product was purchased within the framework of a pilot program for trilateral forward purchases of sunflower and sunflower oil.From January to April 2025, the "OskemenAgroProdukt" oil refinery will supply 83.2 thousand liters of sunflower oil to the Food Contract Corporation.Recall that in March 2024, the Food Contract Corporation announced the start of forward financing for agricultural producers specializing in sunflower cultivation.

After harvesting, the agricultural producer undertakes to send the sunflower to the oil refinery for processing, and the oil refinery - to deliver the finished product to the Food Contract Corporation.

This will allow the SEC to provide the population with food at affordable prices.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/aqmola/press/news/details/944672
