In January-February 2022, Kazakhstan exported 140.7 thsd tonnes of sunflower oil, up 4.8 times y/y.  

“Annually, about 60% of Kazakh sunflower oil export goes to Uzbekistan. At the same time, the number of markets is increasing. Besides the traditional destinations (Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, China), Kazakhstan ships its sunflower oil to Czech Republic, Lithuania, Turkey”, – the Ministry of Agriculture said.

The Ministry said the government supported the production of oilseed crop in Kazakhstan through certain subsidies that had allowed farmers to extend sunflower seed planted area by 200 thsd ha in 2021. The area may be increased by 20.7 thsd ha in 2022.
