Kazakhstan is considering the possibility of increasing grain supplies to China, Trend reports, referring to the Kazakh government.
The projected volume of gross harvest of these crops will be about 16 million tons with an average yield of 10.1 quintals per hectare, the Minister of Agriculture of Kazakhstan Yerbol Karashukeyev noted at a meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers.
"I would like to note that the projected production volumes of grain and leguminous crops, taking into account the shifting remnants of previous years, will fully meet the domestic needs of the country," Karashukeyev said.
In the new season, the main supplies of Kazakh wheat and flour will be directed to traditional markets, namely to the countries of Central Asia, Iran and Afghanistan, he noted.
"Due to the high quality of grain, it is possible to increase wheat shipments to China," the minister added.
