Strong 2025 Harvest
Kazakhstan’s 2025 wheat crop is shaping up to be one of the most productive in recent years.
Favorable rainfall and larger planted areas in the northern grain belt lifted yields and boosted total output.
Data from the USDA Grain and Feed Update for Kazakhstan confirms higher production supported by favorable weather and increased planting.
As a result, the country has more exportable wheat and a stronger role in the global grain trade.
With stable domestic demand, more Kazakh wheat is expected to reach buyers in the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia over the next few months.
Export Policy and Pricing Advantage
Kazakhstan does not apply export duties on wheat.
This policy keeps prices stable and transparent for buyers.
Exporters can offer more competitive CIF values, often 20–25 USD per ton below Russian or Ukrainian wheat on similar routes.
This difference makes Kazakh wheat one of the most cost-efficient choices for food-grade milling.
Efficient Transport Through the Trans-Caspian Corridor
Kazakhstan is a landlocked country, and logistics have always shaped its wheat pricing.
The Trans-Caspian transport corridor connects Central Asia to the Black Sea and has existed for years.
However, better coordination between Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, and Georgia has made it more efficient and commercially viable for bulk grain shipments.
The Trans-Caspian International Transport Route Association highlights growing freight movement through Aktau, Govsan, and Poti as part of the Middle Corridor’s expansion.
The route usually follows this path:
- Rail from inland Kazakhstan to Aktau Port on the Caspian Sea
- Ferry from Aktau to Govsan in Azerbaijan
- Rail from Govsan to Poti in Georgia
- Sea transport from Poti to Mediterranean ports such as Mersin in Turkey and Alexandria in Egypt
Improved scheduling, higher port capacity, and faster customs processes now make this corridor a reliable alternative to the congested Black Sea routes used by Russian exporters.

Why Importers Are Turning to Kazakh Wheat
Record harvests, efficient logistics, a clear export policy, and reliable quality have made Kazakh wheat increasingly popular in 2025.
Major importers such as Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, Iran, China, and several countries in the Middle East and North Africa continue to increase purchases.
Trade data from FAO STAT shows that Kazakhstan’s wheat exports to neighboring and regional markets have grown steadily over the past few years.
Buyers value its consistent quality and competitive CIF prices compared to Russian or Ukrainian origins.
With improved routes through the Trans-Caspian corridor, Kazakhstan is now one of the most dependable and cost-efficient wheat suppliers in Eurasia.
