Astana, (IINA) - The grain export potential of Kazakhstan is estimated at the level of 7.5 million tons by the Ministry of Agriculture of Kazakhstan.
"According to the information from the regions, despite the difficult weather conditions, over 20 million tons of grain was harvested this year with the yield of 13.5 centners per hectare. We estimate the grain export potential to be at the level of 7.5 million tons," said Deputy Minister of Agriculture of Kazakhstan Yermek Kosherbayev at the most recent sitting of the international coordination committee of exporters and investors.
He also noted that Kazakhstan and China signed the protocol on removal of restrictions for exporting wheat from Kazakhstan. "Moreover, we think that the export of our grain will grow because we are going to be able to supply grain to Southeast Asia through China. Besides, it is planned to increase our presence in the markets of China and increase the volume of grain export to Iran and the Arabian Gulf countries," he added.
