Kazakhstan has not announced any changes to its biotechnology policies. Major challenges like climate change, variable weather, monocropping wheat, and the reliance on Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) member biotechnology regulations could be a future catalyst for Kazakhstan to develop its own biotechnology law.

FAS/Astana forecasts Kazakhstan wheat production in 2016 at 13.0 MMT, down slightly from 2015 production of 13.7 MMT, as wheat sown area is expected to fall, reducing harvested area.
