Bad weather conditions prevent Kazakhstani farmers from completing harvest on timely basis. Some 70% of area has been harvested to date.
Aktube region’s yields were the lowest – on average 0.48 MT/ha – because of the dry summer.
At the same time, growers in the northern regions, on the contrary, suffer from persistent rains. Harvest stopped for some times. In addition, wet grain is an additional item of expenses.
The Food Contract Corporation has already announced its grain purchase price. 3rd grade wheat will cost KZT 35,000/MT. A total of 1 MMT will be purchased.
