FAS-Nur-Sultan forecasts no significant change to wheat planted area for MY2022/23. Producers in Kazakhstan's three main wheat producing regions reported no adverse weather events and precipitation has been generally more than last year, especially through June, although July precipitation in some areas has come in slightly lower.

Kazakhstan’s wheat production is expected to recover in 2013, but exports to Russia - its largest market in 2012/13 - are expected to drop sharply.
