Kazakhstan to reduce grain exports

Kazakhstan’s grain harvest is enough to meet the domestic market, Azat Sultanov, the agriculture minister of the country, said, Kazinform Agency correspondent reports. 

The grain harvest is enough to meet the domestic market. Grain exports are to be reduced due to lower harvest compared with last year without affecting the domestic market, said Sultanov on the sidelines of the KazAgro 2023 international exhibition.

The vice minister of agriculture went on to add that this year the country is set to export five million tons of grain, down from the previous volume of seven-eight million tons. There are no preconditions for a grain export ban in the country, he noted.

Earlier it was reported that the KazAgro-2023 & KazFarm-2023 exhibition had kicked off in Astana.
