In the autumn of 2024, Kazakhstan saw a significant increase in grain market activity, with a 40% rise compared to the previous year, totaling over 2.2 million tons. This surge was led by a dynamic growth in barley exports, particularly to Iran. In the context of international market promotion, JSC NC Food Corporation is actively seeking to expand its export markets and has secured contracts worth $19.5 million from Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and China through a program that consolidates export consignments from local farmers, aiming to enhance agricultural export earnings.
