Agricultural Commodities Market: Where to Expect Price Growth and Where to Sell Now

The research bureau "Grains and Oilseeds. Kazakhstan" has published a fresh review of prices and recommendations for the grain, oilseed, and legume markets. According to the results of the past week, the market dynamics have been mixed: while the grain segment shows stability, oilseeds and legumes are beginning to gain in value.

Grains
Soft wheat of the third class with 28%+ gluten remains stable at 128 KZT/kg — it is recommended to pause sales (stop), waiting for a possible increase to 145 KZT/kg.
Third-class wheat with gluten up to 25% (87 KZT/kg) and up to 23% (84 KZT/kg) is advised to be sold as needed, aiming for moderate growth up to 95 and 85 KZT/kg, respectively.
Fourth-class wheat (80 KZT/kg) and fifth-class wheat (73 KZT/kg) are also recommended for gradual sale.
Second-class barley (84 KZT/kg) should be held (stop) with a minimal growth prospect up to 85 KZT/kg.
For durum wheat, a decline was recorded: with 14% protein, the price dropped to 81 KZT/kg; with 15% protein — down to 94 KZT/kg. In both cases, analysts recommend active selling to secure the current price.

Farmers note that the market remains restrained until the end of the sowing campaign.

Oilseeds and Legumes
In the oilseeds market, sunflower prices rose by 10 KZT, reaching 195 KZT/kg — analysts recommend a sales stop, anticipating further growth to 210 KZT/kg.
Flax also rose by 1 KZT to 261 KZT/kg — recommended to hold (stop), targeting 270 KZT/kg.
Rapeseed increased to 223 KZT/kg — sales are advised as needed, with growth potential up to 250 KZT/kg.
Safflower remained unchanged at 138 KZT/kg and is recommended for immediate sale.
Soybeans remained stable at 204 KZT/kg — sales should be planned as needed, aiming for a rise to 225 KZT/kg.
Mustard (177 KZT/kg), yellow peas (122 KZT/kg), and green lentils (395 KZT/kg) are also advised for gradual sale.
Red lentils showed a notable increase (+25 KZT), reaching 242 KZT/kg — selling should be planned as needed, with the prospect of growth up to 265 KZT/kg.
Thus, against the backdrop of stability in the grain segment, attention should be focused on the opportunities emerging in the oilseed and legume markets.
