As of October 7, Kazakhstan harvested 17.2 mln tonnes of grain in bunker weight throughout 99.3% of planned areas, declared Akulbek Kurishbaev, the Minister of Agriculture.
According to the Minister, high-quality wheat share (1-, 2- and 3- grades) totals 91% of harvested crop as opposed to 75% in the previous years. Thus, Kazakhstan has harvested rather average crop, but the share of high-quality grain is higher. At the same time, Russia and Ukraine harvested rich crops with 3-grade wheat shares of 15% and 11%, respectively.
