Kazakhstan is set to begin supplying grain to Africa, marking a significant step in its agricultural export strategy.
The country has already exported 2.6 million tons of grain in the first five months of 2024, with plans to diversify its markets and enhance trade relations with African nations. This initiative aims to leverage Kazakhstan's ample grain reserves and growing production capacity to meet the increasing demand for food security in Africa, thereby strengthening economic ties between the regions.
