Kazakhstan exports 8-9 million tons of grain annually, of which 6.5-7.5 million tons are wheat. The export geography covers more than 40 countries.
The traditional markets are the countries of Central Asia, Afghanistan, China, Turkey, Iran, Italy, and Tunisia. As of the end of November this year, 6.3 million tons of grain were exported. The export of the new crop amounted to 2.37 million tons, which is 52% more than in the same period of 2023.
Deliveries to Uzbekistan increased by 42% and amounted to 944 thousand tons, last year this figure was 665 thousand tons, deliveries to Tajikistan increased by 49% from 254 thousand tons in 2023 to 377 thousand tons this year. There is also an increase in exports to China by 17% from 304 thousand tons last year to 355 thousand tons this year, supplies to Afghanistan increased by 71% from 67 thousand tons last year to 115 thousand tons this year, supplies to Iran increased 30 times from 10 thousand tons to 299 thousand tons.
It is predicted that this year the export potential will reach 12 million tons. The main markets will be the countries of Central Asia, China, Afghanistan, Italy and others. The issue of grain transportation in volumes up to 2 million tons to countries such as Azerbaijan, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, North Africa and the EU through the ports of the Black and Baltic Seas is also being worked out.
To improve the efficiency of work, an operational grain headquarters has been established, which carries out planning for grain shipments both inside Kazakhstan and for export. There are plans to further expand the geography of exports by implementing projects to create international corridors.
