Flour milling enterprises of Kazakhstan appeal to the President of the country to interfere in the situation with flour export. Evheniy Gan, President of Union of Grain Processors and Bakers of Kazakhstan declared the text of the appeal during the press-conference on May 30.
Over a month there were attempts to partially or totally prohibit flour export, stated in the appeal.
At that, this happens when the country has sufficient grain stocks, underlined in the document. Grain stocks in the country exceed 2 mln tonnes, while needs of the domestic market total 700-750.000 tonnes of flour (until new grain crop), therefore the attempts to limit flour export are ungrounded and unreasoned, stated in the appeal.
Flour milling enterprises declare that they would not allow bread deficiency on the domestic market. At that, they note that ban for flour export would lead to the irretrievable losses of the foothold gained in the new markets, image loss of Kazakhstan among the traditional customers, excessive carry-over stock in the country, shutdown of half of mills and increase in unemployment.
Evheniy Gan said that since June 16, car feed for flour export is practically completely stopped. At that, he noted that official ban for flour export was not introduced in the country. However, Kazakhstan Temir Zholy in its inquiry answer for the Union stated that car feed for flour loading is conducted "taking into account expected quota".
