Kazakhstan: Grain and Feed Annual

Wheat production is expected to recover this marketing year as higher soil moisture raises yield. West and North Kazakhstan were impacted by heavy flooding, with the areas of Atyrau, Kostanay, and Almola most negatively affected. While flooding led to losses of both livestock and homes, grain fields were largely spared due to soviet era water diversion systems. Price pressure from Russia remains challenging, so the government of Kazakhstan has extended import restrictions on wheat from the Eurasian Economic Union by another six months.
