Kazakhstan. Grain production and exports in MY 2019/20 expected at a five-year low

The harvest of grains in Kazakhstan is drawing to an end, being roughly 90% complete. Because of drought, grain yield figures in major growing regions increasingly decreased from last year as harvest progressed. In addition, persistent precipitation that occurred at the height of harvest (from August 25 to the end of September) has already deteriorated the grain quality and may increase grain losses in the course of further conditioning, reports UkrAgroConsult.
