Kazakhstan bans import of wheat by road for six months

Kazakhstan banned the import of wheat by road for six months. The corresponding order of Minister of Agriculture Yerbol Karashukeev appeared in the bank of regulatory legal acts. As indicated in the document, the order was agreed with the National Security Committee.
