Kazakhstan to export 1 mln tons of grain to Azerbaijan this year

Decrease of trade turnover between Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan is connected with the world economic crisis, the Kazakh Ambassador Serik Primbetov stated at a business forum in Baku.
According to Primbetov, last year Kazakhstan exported more than 1 million tons of grain to Azerbaijan. “This year we plan to increase the volume of export to the level of 2010.”

“Current year, Kazakhstan harvested a record crop of grain - 28 million tons. We are ready to increase grain supplies to Azerbaijan. It all depends on the prices that we offer, opportunities for rail transport and business initiatives,” the diplomat underlined.

“Commodity turnover between the two countries in comparison with 2008 has decreased considerably. We want to bring up the trade turnover to the pre-crisis level of USD 440 million,” Primbetov said.
