On 1 April 2022, the Government of Kazakhstan announced plans to
introduce temporary quotas on wheat and wheat flour exports, with effect from
15 April to 15 June 2022. The quotas amount to 1 million tonnes and 300 000
tonnes for wheat grain and wheat flour, respectively. In addition, exporters
will be obliged to sell 10 percent of declared export volumes to the state
purchasing company “Prodcorporation”, which in turn will redirect these
purchases to cover the needs of local bakeries, flourmills, livestock and
poultry farming. The measure is intended to ensure adequate availability of
wheat in the domestic market and to curb price increases amid rising global
food prices.
