Earlier, the Grain Union of Kazakhstan predicted the development of a similar situation. The Union reported that the sowing area of flax in Kazakhstan increased by more than 50% in 2025 – to 1.3 million hectares. The reason for such popularity was high export demand and good marginality. At the same time, other flax-producing countries – the Russian Federation, the USA – found themselves in a similar situation. Therefore, there will be a high supply of flax on the market in the new season. Prices will fall.
