Kazakhstan's Agriculture Ministry denied media reports about a ban on Kazakh wheat import by Russia, Kazakhstan Today reported.

"The reports about ban on Kazakh wheat imports by Russia are wrong," the Ministry of Agriculture said. "Rosselkhoznadzor [Russian Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance] did not impose any ban on import of Kazakh wheat."

Earlier Kazakh and Russian media reported about prohibition of import of Kazakh wheat by Russia referring to its multi-weed content

"However, the quarantine examination into grains did not reveal any weed in Kazakh wheat," the ministry said.

According to Rosselkhoznadzor offices in Krasnodar region and Adygea Republic, carriages with Kazakh grain were not returned to Kazakhstan and were re-exported in the right destination - to Turkey.
