Kazakhstan’s Ministry of Agriculture has introduced amendments to the process of obtaining right for exporting sunflower seeds, Trend reports with reference to the ministry.

The amendments were introduced by a decree of Kazakhstan’s agriculture minister approved as of July 28, 2020.

Thus, the certificate (permit document) will be issued by the territorial divisions of Kazakhstan’s State Inspection Committee in the Agro-Industrial Complex.
