Note: This article presents alternative statistics on the export of sunflower seeds and products of their processing (oil, meal, and cake) from Russia to Kazakhstan. It is based not on the data of the Federal Customs Service of Russia, but on parallel data provided by the National Statistics Bureau of the Agency for Strategic Planning and Reforms of the Republic of Kazakhstan on the import of sunflower seeds and their processed products into Kazakhstan from Russia.
Prices are calculated by dividing the declared cost of supplies by the volume of supplies at the Kazakhstani customs. Therefore, the calculated price presented here takes into account charges and duties in Russia, as well as transportation from Russia, but does not include charges and duties in Kazakhstan.
This indicator is just an approximate measure of market trends and may slightly differ from actual market prices.
