visiting the ports of Tallinn and Sillamäe, as well as various
grain terminals. During their visit, they engaged in discussions

leveraging the Baltic route as a primary corridor for the export of
Kazakh grain and oilseeds to Northern Europe, the Middle East, and
North Africa.

cooperation, the digitalization of the agricultural sector, and the
potential for joint investment projects, reaffirming the mutual
interest in strengthening trade and economic relations between
Kazakhstan and Estonia.

handling transit-origin goods and accounts for around 50% of the
total cargo volume at the Port of Tallinn, as well as approximately
