Pakistan has introduced an official ban on the import and export of wheat. This trend will have a positive impact on the Kazakh flour market, experts say, APK News agency reports.
This government measure is explained by the regulation of grain supplies to the country. The urgent need for a ban is emphasized. It is noted that not only wheat grain, but also all products obtained from it were subject to restrictions. This measure is expected to stabilize the local market and eliminate potential supply shortages.
As the Grain Union told the APK News agency, Kazakhstan does not sell wheat and flour directly to Pakistan. However, the introduced measure will have a positive impact on the Kazakhstan market. Afghanistan will not be able to buy Pakistani flour officially. Only by smuggling. This means that Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Russia will supply flour to Afghanistan, as in the last and current marketing year.
