In Kazakhstan, it is planned to introduce a complete ban on the import of wheat from abroad by the end of this year. Agricultural producers in the Kostanay region support this restriction and believe that it should apply not only to wheat but also to its processed products.
"We are working on issues that concern our farmers, including harvesting and prices of agricultural crops. It was noted at the Field Day that the harvest will be good, so we propose to tighten the norms for the import of wheat from Russia and ban the import of all types of wheat and its processed products. We will raise this issue again with the government," - said the representative of the Association of Agricultural Producers of the Kostanay region, Alexander Borodin.
The ban on wheat imports has been in effect in Kazakhstan since April of this year for six months. However, there are exceptions that allow grain to be supplied to flour mills and poultry farms by rail transport.
Nevertheless, according to Alexander Borodin, some companies still find ways to bypass the ban and continue to import grain. For example, they grind it and import it as crushed grain, then process it back into flour or bring in ready-made flour. As a result, the demand for local wheat remains low.
"We must supplement the restrictions and ban the import of wheat and its processed products. This will allow our farmers to receive a fair price for the harvest and ensure stable sales markets," explained Alexander Borodin.
