In early December, the cost of a "troika" with gluten 25 by 5 tenge/kg, with gluten 28 by 1 tenge/kg sank.
According to traders, farmers continue to hold high-pro wheat in anticipation of an increase in the price tag.
According to the ZM respondents, the cost of grain will change depending on the state of winter crops in Russia by spring. If their condition is unsatisfactory, therefore, forecasts for the harvest in 2025 will decrease, which will entail an upward price adjustment in both the Russian Federation and the Republic of Kazakhstan.
Traders are confused – "because of misunderstandings in the domestic market, you don't know how much to buy, how much to sell."
