Also, in March and April of 2016 Kazakhstan exported 189.2 thsd tonnes and 212.6 thsd tonnes of wheat flour respectively, as opposed to 111 thsd tonnes and 126.1 thsd tonnes in the same months last season.
The President of the Union of Grain Processors, Еvgeny Gan, the current situation was caused by activation of purchasing operations for finished products from companies-importers due to the growing tendency for rising of raw commodity prices on the domestic market, which will also continue strengthening the flour prices.
At the same time, the expert said that in the current season, Kazakhstan shipped nearly 90% of the general exports of wheat flour to Afghanistan and Uzbekistan.
