"Dead" January on grain exports forecasts Grain Union of Kazakhstan.

The demand for Kazakh grain on world markets is falling, Yevgeny Karabanov of the Grain Union of Kazakhstan said in an interview with Agroqogam, reports World of NAN.

"The cars are still inactive. Plus, our southern importers are 'full.' Uzbekistan and Tajikistan eliminated the deficit of wheat in the fall and created a sort of reserve for themselves. Today Uzbekistan wants to buy at a maximum of $280-285 per ton, but so far the Kazakh side is not ready to offer at such a price. And I think that January will be absolutely "dead" in terms of grain exports," Karabanov predicts.

To recall, a month ago prices on the Central Asian markets ranged from $315 to $325. In addition, now active offers to the RK are coming from Russia.

"The real price of Russian grain is somewhere around 14 thousand rubles with delivery, if we are talking about food wheat. In the light of the fact that the ruble is weakening, these offers become directly "sweet". And this may lead to a drop in the price of our grain," says a representative of the GUK.

In turn, representatives of the poultry industry say: Kazakh farmers keep too high a price. Against this background, supplies from the neighboring country are a lifeline.

"Now you can buy grain from Russia for 80-85 thousand a ton, and we have 120 thousand, and you cannot find it, the only way is through the Prodkorporatsiya. What entrepreneur would work at a loss? That's why we mostly buy from Russia. Ours keep a high price," said Ruslan Sharipov, chairman of the Union of Poultry Breeders of the Republic of Kazakhstan.  

As of December 1, 2022, stocks of grain and leguminous crops in Kazakhstan are estimated at 16 million 992 thousand 100 tons. Including wheat 13 million 957 thousand 176.5 tons.
