According to a statement by the business information center Kapital. Kz, Prime Minister Askar Mamin stated at a government meeting, that Kazakhstan plans to harvest 18 million tons of gross grains and oilseeds, of which 16 million tons are grains and legumes, and that 14.3 million tons of grains and about 200 thousand tons of oilseeds are threshed.

“Despite the decrease in the volume of grain due to the drought this year, the country's internal demand for grain will be fully met. At the same time, the potential for grain export will remain in the amount of about 6 - 6.5 million tons, ”Askar Mamin said.

Agriculture Minister Yerbol Karashukeev added that the harvesting area of grain and oilseeds this year is 18.9 million hectares.

To date, a total of 15.1 million hectares of grain and leguminous crops, or 95% of their total area, have been harvested in the republic.

“The next step is to ensure the quantitative and qualitative preservation of the crop. In general, the capacity available in the country is sufficient to store the projected harvest, taking into account the carry-overs of previous years. The total grain storage capacity in the republic is 29.3 million tons, including 12.4 million tons at grain-receiving enterprises, 16.9 million tons at agricultural producers, ”the minister said.

In total, 1.9 million tons of grain were received from the new harvest to licensed grain-receiving enterprises, including: 1.67 million tons of wheat; 163.9 thousand tons of barley and 56.4 thousand tons of other crops (oats, millet, buckwheat, rice).
