Grain from Kazakhstan’s new harvest has high quality indicators. Despite challenging weather during the growing season, farmers produced a substantial crop while maintaining the wheat’s baking qualities.
Preliminary data show that about 72% of the soft wheat delivered to elevators is third grade. Gluten content exceeded 28% in 48% of the samples tested.
Some regions reported figures above the average. In Akmola Region, third-grade wheat accounts for 90%, while the Hi-Pro category makes up 70%.
The Ministry of Agriculture says the quality of the harvest is important for food security. Adequate supplies of food-grade wheat allow the country to meet domestic demand for grain, flour and bakery products and build up necessary reserves.
Grain quality also affects the competitiveness of Kazakh products in international markets. High protein and gluten content makes the wheat sought after by the milling industry and creates opportunities to expand export destinations.
