Kazakhstan: Grain and Feed Update
FAS/Astana estimates Kazakhstan’s wheat production in MY 2015/16 at 14 MMT, almost 1 MMT more than 12.99 MMT in MY 2014/2015, due to higher average country yields this year. While there was a decrease in wheat planted area, it was mostly offset by a 7% increase in yields, resulting in higher levels of production. Kazakhstan’s exports are expected to increase nearly one million tons in MY 2015/16.
