BAKU, Azerbaijan, September. Kazakhstan's
farmers have harvested 7.7 million tons of grain since the start of
the harvesting campaign, nearly twice as much as at the same period
last year, the Kazakh government said.


A total of 5.5 million hectares, or 35.5% of grain crop areas,
have been harvested so far, with an average yield of 14 centners
per hectare, according to the government.


"The first results of grain acceptance confirm the high quality
of the new crop. A total of 1,025,200 tons of grain has already
been delivered to licensed grain-receiving facilities. This is
seven times higher than the volume accepted for storage during the
same period in 2025," the government said.


The government noted that 78% of the new soft wheat received at
grain-receiving facilities was classified as Grade 3, while 14% was
classified as Grade 4. Grade 5 and non-class wheat accounted for
7%. Gluten content indicators were also strong, with 56% of the
soft wheat having gluten content above 28%. Another 19% had gluten
content of 25%-27%, while 25% had gluten content of 23%-24%.


"The Ministry of Agriculture continues systematic monitoring of
the quality of accepted grain, including its grade and key physical
and chemical indicators," the government said.







Harvesting of oilseeds, vegetables and melons is also underway.
Farmers have harvested 244,000 tons of oilseeds, more than 1.9
million tons of vegetables, 1.7 million tons of melons and 795,000
tons of potatoes. According to local executive bodies, 98% of grain
and oilseed crops are currently in good or satisfactory
condition.


To support autumn fieldwork, 401,100 tons of diesel fuel have
been allocated to the regions. Contracts have been signed and
payments made for 161,300 tons, or 40% of the allocated volume,
while 143,000 tons, or 36%, have been shipped.


The government also said that 2 million tons of mineral
fertilizers have been contracted and shipped, representing 85% of
the annual target of 2.3 million tons.


According to Trend's analysis, the early harvest results and
high quality indicators for new wheat point to favorable conditions
for Kazakhstan's grain sector this year. The large share of Grade 3
wheat and strong gluten content could support domestic supplies and
export potential, while the continuation of the harvesting campaign
will provide a clearer picture of the country's overall crop
outlook.
