Torebayev said Kazakhstan could increase its wheat exports to China and other Asian countries to 1.6 million tons, adding that its export potential to Turkey and Middle Eastern countries is almost 1 million tons. Preliminary agreements have been reached on the export of 600,000 tons of wheat to Armenia and 1 million tons to Italy. Negotiations on exporting 200,000 tons of grain to North African countries are underway. In the 2022/23 grain season, Kazakhstan exported more than 7.3 million tons of wheat, a record-high volume for the last few seasons. Uzbekistan remained the primary importer of Kazakh grain, followed by Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, and China. In 2022, Kazakhstan’s wheat exports totaled $1.91 billion, making it the 11th largest wheat exporter globally.
