Kazakhstan`s national grain operator ready to supply Armenian  consumers with approximately 15,000- 20,000 tons of food grain  monthly

ArmInfo.  The supply of Kazakh grain to Armenia is an example of food diplomacy, as stated by Tobylbek Omarov, Managing Director of JSC NC Food Corporation,  according to the company's press service.

"This event is not only economically significant, but also  historically important, as it opens up promising opportunities for  direct transit and the development of mutual trade. Through the  export of Kazakh grain, we are creating new bridges of cooperation  and contributing to the restoration of good-neighborly relations, as  well as strengthening trust between countries in the region,"  Tobylbek Omarov  noted. He  also added that Kazakhstan's national  grain operator is ready to supply Armenian consumers with  approximately 15,000-20,000 tons of food grain monthly.

In October, Kazakhstan's national grain operator signed a long-term  cooperation agreement for grain supplies to Armenian consumers. The  pilot batch consists of grade 4 food wheat, which can be used to  produce general-purpose flour and animal feed.

Also, Kazakhstan has the ability to export grain of various grades,  including durum wheat and high-protein wheat (hi-pro). Kazakh wheat  is traditionally valued for its quality and excellent baking  properties. In many partner countries, it is often used as a milling  improver, making the grain in demand among foreign processors and  allowing it to compete in the global market. Government support  measures for grain exports ensure supplies on mutually beneficial  terms. In 2025, the Food Contract Corporation will actively export  Kazakhstani wheat abroad - to countries in Central Asia, the Caucasus  (Azerbaijan, Georgia), the Middle East (Iran), North Africa (Algeria,  Morocco), and Southeast Asia (Vietnam), as well as to China.

The national grain operator is currently negotiating with new  Armenian partners interested in stable supplies of Kazakhstani wheat.  Grain shipment volumes to Yerevan may increase in the future.

 It should be noted that JSC National Company Food Contract  Corporation is the national operator in the grain market of  Kazakhstan. It ensures food security for the country and stabilizes  the domestic grain market, provides financial support to agricultural  producers, and is engaged in the export of agricultural products. The  Food Contract Corporation implements the state agricultural policy.  The Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan is the only  shareholder.
