Since September,1, Kazakhstan will not restrict export of new yield grain, reported Chairman of Trade Committee of Ministry of Industry and Trade of Kazakhstan Aydar Kazybaev.
As a reminder, in April, Kazakhstan introduced prohibition for wheat export till September, 1. The reason for this decision was necessity of providing food security of the country and avoiding negative consequences for the local market in conditions of substantial prices growth on the world grain market as well as deficiency of milling grain in the world.
Last year, Kazakhstan harvested record high yield of grain - over 20,1 mln tonnes in clean weight, up 22% as compared to 2006 (including 16.6 mln tonnes of wheat against 13.5 mln tonnes in 2006). In conditions of favorable world conjuncture, the Kazakh producers have already exported over 8 mln tonnes of grain from 2007 yield from the planned 10 mln tonnes.
