Representatives of the grain processing industry have reported a collapse on the railway. As the head of the Union of Grain Processors of Kazakhstan, Jomart Motyshev, reported today at a meeting in the Mazhilis, wagons that have not been registered have been sitting at the station since September, it is still not possible to ship the goods, and enterprises are incurring losses, reports the APC News agency.
"I have a question for KTZ-GP," said Jomart Motyshev. "Since the beginning of the season, we have been facing the problem of timely delivery of wagons, specifically at the Kostanay station.
