According to the announcement, in the current year the Islamic Republic of Iran became the basic direction of Kazakh grain supplies in the Caspian region. Also, the high figures were achieved due to the favourable weather and climatic conditions (absence of the wind and precipitations), availability of the capacities in the seaport of Aktau (free berths), and extra places to accommodate grain rail cars.
