Grain exports to China

Kazakhstan is the largest producer and exporter of wheat in Central Asia, and a significant portion of this production goes to China.

China, in turn, is one of the largest consumers of grain crops in the world and is actively increasing imports to meet domestic demand.

Grain produced in Northern Kazakhstan has long established itself as a high quality product in international markets. This region is known for its favorable climate for growing durum wheat, which is particularly sought after abroad.

North Kazakhstan grain is renowned for its high protein and gluten content, which makes it competitive in the world market, especially among countries with high quality requirements for grain crops, such as China.

In recent years, China has shown a steady increase in demand for cereal crops. The reasons for this phenomenon are related to population increase, urbanization, and dietary changes, where the role of wheat and wheat-based products is increasing.

The importance of grain exports to China is also related to the favorable geographical position of Kazakhstan, which has direct access to the Chinese market through overland transportation corridors. The development of hubs such as Khorgos and the use of modern railway routes allow minimizing logistics costs and delivering grain to China in a short time.

Geographical location allows Kazakhstan to reduce delivery time compared to sea transportation, which is a critical factor in competing in the global grain market.
