Between September and January of the 2021/22 marketing year, Kazakhstan experienced a significant surge in margarine exports, with volumes reaching 27.3 thousand tons, a threefold increase compared to the same period in the previous year. This increase is primarily due to a substantial rise in demand from Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, both emerging as major importers of Kazakhstani margarine. Uzbekistan's imports rose to 14.2 thousand tons, making it the leader among buyers, while Tajikistan's imports increased dramatically to 6.5 thousand tons, positioning it as the second most significant importer following Kyrgyzstan.
