Due to expansion of the planted areas of flaxseed in Kazakhstan and the growth of its production volumes, the country managed to increase its processing volumes. Thus, in 2015/16 MY Kazakhstan produced 16.9 thsd tonnes of flaxseed oil, which became a historical maximum record, and exceeded the previous season figures in 5 times.

According to the Customs Control Committee of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the export volumes of Kazakh flaxseed oil also continue increasing in proportion to its production volumes. In 2015/16 MY, the country exported 5.5 thsd tonnes of flaxseed oil, or one third of the general production. The exports developed in such way due to strong demand from China, which usually purchases nearly 100% of supplied Kazakh flaxseed oil.
