Kazakhstan's grain and flour exports exceed 13 million tons
Higher shipments were driven by increased purchases from Central Asian countries and Afghanistan
From September 2025 to July 17, 2026, Kazakhstan exported 13.5 million tons of grain and flour in grain equivalent, according to Kazakhstan Temir Zholy National Company.
Compared to the same period of the previous season, export volumes increased by 12.5%. During the corresponding period a year earlier, grain and flour exports in grain equivalent totaled 12 million tons.
The strongest growth came from Kazakhstan's traditional export markets in Central Asia, as well as Afghanistan.
Exports to Uzbekistan reached 5.6 million tons, up 37% year-on-year. Shipments to Kyrgyzstan increased 1.4 times to 504 thousand tons. Exports to Afghanistan rose by 59% to 2.2 million tons, while deliveries to Turkmenistan increased by 34% to 210 thousand tons.
According to the company, the positive dynamics of freight transportation indicate strong demand for Kazakhstan's agricultural products and reflect the effectiveness of measures aimed at developing export logistics and expanding trade and economic cooperation with foreign partners.
