Kazakhstan increased wheat exports to Uzbekistan by 40% over six months — shipments reached 2.25 million tonnes
In the first six months of the current marketing year (September 2024 – February 2025), Kazakhstan significantly increased its wheat exports to Uzbekistan, delivering approximately 2.25 million tonnes of grain to the neighboring country.
According to official statistics, this figure is 40% higher compared to the same period of the previous season.

For comparison, other countries received significantly smaller volumes during the same month: 116 thousand tonnes were shipped to Tajikistan, 98 thousand tonnes to Azerbaijan, and 44 thousand tonnes to Italy.
