Kazakhstan plans to increase its agricultural exports to Europe using Russia as a transit route, reports Orda.kz.
Prime Ministers Olzhas Bektenov and Mikhail Mishustin have reached an agreement for Russia to lift its restrictions on Kazakhstan's meat exports partially.
Previously, Russia imposed restrictions on meat imports due to the epizootic situation in Kazakhstan. Today, we reached an agreement with our Russian colleagues to lift this restriction for the southern and southeastern regions. We are now working on lifting restrictions for the entire territory of Kazakhstan, said Vice Minister of Agriculture Azat Sultanov following talks between the heads of government.
Kazakhstan's grain will also enter the European market.
Grain exports to European markets are planned through Russian Federation territory - for example, durum wheat will be supplied to Italy, added Sultanov.
This comes after Russia's Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance recently demanded Kazakhstan stop exporting contaminated grain.
The Russian side expressed concern about Kazakh colleagues not complying with temporary restrictions on importing wheat, flax seeds, and lentils into Russia, including those intended for shipment to third countries in cases of indirect transshipment.
These restrictions were implemented on October 17, 2024.
