Russia has resumed wheat exports to Kazakhstan after lifting a ban that was in place until December 31, 2024.
Siberian regions are the primary suppliers of Russian grain to Kazakhstan.
The Siberian Interregional Administration of the Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance (Rosselkhoznadzor) reported that 980 tonnes of wheat were prepared for shipment.
"The first shipment consisted of 14 railway wagons carrying a total of 980 tonnes was transported in the early of 2025. It became possible after the lifting of Kazakhstan's ban on wheat imports from third countries and EAEU [Eurasian Economic Union] states, which was in place from August 21 to December 31, 2024,' the agency stated.
An inspection of the wheat prepared for shipment found no quarantine pests, enabling the issuance of phytosanitary certificates.
Agricultural cooperation between Russia and Kazakhstan was discussed during negotiations between Lut and Kazakh Agriculture Minister Aidarbek Saparov in January.
"We initially believed that Kazakhstan would limit Russian wheat imports this season due to a very large domestic harvest. However, the situation has changed—the weather fluctuates, and they experience droughts. That is why we must continue working together. Kazakhstan is our partner, and we need to develop a unified policy
