Regional authorities in Kazakhstan may have overstated the size of the grains crop in the country, the agriculture ministry said, citing satellite monitoring.
Kazakhstan may cut its grain export forecast, currently 7 million to 8 million metric tons for the marketing year that started July 1, if it’s confirmed that the crop figures have been exaggerated, Muslim Umiryayev, deputy agriculture minister, said yesterday at a news conference in the capital, Astana.
