Kazakhstan has extended its ban on the export of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) for another six months, Orda.kz reports, citing the Cabinet of Ministers.
The decision was made by the Interdepartmental Commission on Foreign Trade, which cited rising domestic consumption and the fuel’s social importance as key reasons for maintaining the restrictions.
The measure is aimed at ensuring domestic demand, given the growing number of vehicles using liquefied gas as fuel and its social significance, the Cabinet’s statement reads.
The extended restrictions apply to exports of liquefied gas by both road and rail.
Additionally, the government extended the ban on exporting male cattle, including to member states of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), for another six months. The export quota of 120,000 rams remains unchanged.
Kazakhstan first imposed the restriction on the export of liquefied petroleum gas, propane, and butane in November 2023. The measure was previously renewed in May 2025, and this latest decision prolongs it until early 2026.
