In Kazakhstan the grain stocks are very low, rich harvest is needed
In early June, Kazakhstan has finished the sowing campaign. The sown territory is almost 3% more than it was planned. It is too early to predict something about this year’s harvest, as weather conditions are changeable. But so far it’s been only worries: there is a high risk of lack of moisture, even drought is possible. In 2020, the Republic of Kazakhstan simple needs a rich harvest, because the grain stocks at the beginning of summer has been very low in recent years. If the harvest is bad, then there will nothing to trade, which will lead to restrictions on the export of grain abroad. If the weather conditions are favorable and there is enough rain, the grain production may reach 20 million tons. This will also be possible due to the fact that the sowing areas have been increased.
Kazakhstan has seen low grain inventories, raising concerns among farmers and grain exporters. This may lead to a reduction in production and a drop in export opportunities. To increase grain stocks, the Kazakh government has already taken a number of measures, including state support for agricultural enterprises, expanding crop production and increasing investment in agriculture. Also, agricultural producers use modern technologies, such as watering systems and mechanized harvesting, to increase yields. Follow agricultural news at Com3s.com.
