Kazakhstan exported 13.9 million tons of grain and flour in grain equivalent between September 2025 and July 2026, up 12.6% from 12.4 million tons shipped during the same period a year earlier, Qazinform News Agency reports via the Ministry of Agriculture. The increase was largely driven by higher demand from Kazakhstan's traditional export destinations in Central Asia and Afghanistan, according to Kazakhstan Temir Zholy (KTZ).
Exports to Uzbekistan rose 36% to 5.8 million tons, followed by a 35% increase in shipments to Kyrgyzstan to 528,000 tons. Exports to Afghanistan climbed 57% to 2.4 million tons, while deliveries to Turkmenistan were up 32% to 220,000 tons. The ministry said the results point to strong overseas demand for Kazakhstan's agricultural products while underscoring the effectiveness of measures to enhance export logistics and strengthen trade and economic cooperation with foreign partners.
Earlier, it was reported that 15.9 million tons of fodder had been prepared in Kazakhstan ahead of upcoming winter season.
