In the coming years, Kazakhstan plans to significantly increase the exports of grains to the market of China – to 1-1.5 million tons annually since 2017-2018 period, with up to 2-2.5 million tons by 2020, the Chairman of the Grain Union of Kazakhstan Nurlan Ospanov declared.
According to him, Kazakhstan will increase grain exports to the country due to launching of a new railway line from Kazakhstan towards Altynkol/Horgos on the Kazakh-Chinese border, as well as the previously signed protocol between the Chinese authorities and the Republic of Kazakhstan on the supply of bulk grain in grain carriers, and construction of the terminals for receipt and shipment of grains in China.
