Export activation is taking place despite the fact that in January Kazakh wheat price rose by $20/t, eldava.kz writes. At the beginning of February, the export price of 3rd class wheat (23% gluten) in Kazakhstan is $240-245/t (DAP Saryagash).
Data from the customs service of Kazakhstan indicate the acceleration of the dynamics of external supplies: for the first five months of the current marketing season (September 2025 – January 2026) by rail for export shipped already 5.86 million tons of grain (22% more than the same period last year).
The main volume went to Uzbekistan – 2.7 million tons. 1.42 million tons of grain went to distant markets (North Africa and Europe), most of it in transit through Russian sea ports.
Kazakhstan’s export potential for wheat International Grain Council (IGC) in the current marketing year forecasts 10.1 million tons – the figure is similar to the previous season. The total volume of the harvest experts of the organization estimated at 19.1 million tons.
