Kazakhstan's export of agricultural and processed food products recorded a significant increase in the first four months of 2026. According to the data announced by Minister of Agriculture Aydarbek Saparov, the export volume in the January-April period reached 3 billion dollars, compared to 2.2 billion dollars in the same period of the previous year.
Despite this, the government expects growth to slow down for the rest of the year, anticipating total exports to reach 7.2 billion dollars by the end of the year. Driven by record grain production levels over the past two years, wheat exports reached a record 11 million metric tons in the 2025-26 marketing year. However, as production volumes return to normal, wheat exports are projected to decline to 7.5 million metric tons in the next period.
Kazakhstan has set a goal to increase the share of high-value, processed food products in its exports, rather than raw materials. The fact that processed products generated more than half of the export revenues last year is considered a concrete reflection of the strategy in this direction. The government's priority has been set to increase the processing rate of six basic product groups, such as meat and dairy, from 64 percent to 70 percent compared to the previous year.
