By the end of the 2021/22 marketing year - in June and August - Kazakhstan can receive another 68.000 within the quotas allocated by the state Tonnen sunflower oil and 15.000 tons Sunflower seeds export. On June 2022, Jadikar Ibrahimov, Chairman of the National Association of Oil Refiners of the Republic of Kazakhstan, reported during the first conference «FOC : Fats and Oils Conference».
He recalled that quantitative restrictions on the export of oil products have been introduced in Kazakhstan since last season. In particular, for the 2021/22 marketing year, 262 thousand tons will be for sunflower oil and 155 thousand tons for Sunflower seeds provided.
Everyone is interested in what will happen in the new oil season. As martial law continues in Ukraine, Kazakhstan, like all other countries, sees a threat that the prices of socially significant products, including sunflower oil, may soar. We understand that an extension of the restrictive measures is necessary. It is worth noting that the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan is now considering the possibility of improving the regulatory mechanisms affecting licensing.

The expert explained that processors who receive an export quota can obtain a license for the entire amount of products to be exported. Accordingly, it will now not be necessary to issue a separate phytosanitary certificate for each batch. This will ease the situation when issuing documents for oil product processors.
According to Yadıkar Ibrahimov, during the restrictive export measures in the Republic of Kazakhstan, the production of sunflower oil will be 45%, sunflower meal 35%.
