Harvesting campaign in Kazakhstan is coming to its end. Kazakh farmers gathered 22 MMT of grain from 95% of the intended area owing to high productivity.
Average grain yields in the country surpassed the last year’s level by 25%. As expected, this season Kazakhstan will obtain record high grain crop over the last five years.
Kazakhstan is going to gather the richest wheat harvest since 2011, thanks to high productivity and acreage expansion. Experts believe that in 2016 wheat production will be up by 20% YoY. Such a high grain production will allow the country to increase both wheat and wheat flour exports.
Experts also expect a significant increase in wheat shipments – to 4.5-4.8 MMT. In this regard, a further growth of Kazakh wheat exports to Chinese market is also expected. (UkrAgroConsult/Business World Magazine)
