Baku, July 29, 2024, The Europe Today: The chief of Kazakhstan’s Food Contract Corporation, Assylkhan Dzhuvashev, announced at the Agricultural Forum in Baku that the company is prepared to deliver up to 1 million tons of wheat to Azerbaijan. This statement was reported by the Kazinform News Agency.
The wheat will primarily be transported through JSC Ak Biday-Terminal, a company specializing in handling and storing grain crops and corn. This terminal network, managed by the Food Contract Corporation, includes facilities in Kazakhstan (Port of Aktau), Azerbaijan (Baku Grain Terminal LLC), and Iran (Amirabad Grain Terminal Kish LLC).
Dzhuvashev highlighted that this grain storage and sale system would ensure efficient wheat supplies to Azerbaijan. The Baku Grain Terminal, located in Hovsan Port, has an annual transshipment capacity of approximately 600,000 tons, while its mill processes up to 50,000 tons of products per annum. The terminal operates around the clock and is equipped with an automated process control system, ensuring high-quality services.
“Historically, Kazakhstan has shipped more than 1 million tons of grain to Azerbaijan. We are working to return to our previous positions to once again become competitive in the Azerbaijani market,” Dzhuvashev stressed.
This renewed effort aims to reestablish Kazakhstan’s strong presence in the Azerbaijani grain market, leveraging the advanced capabilities of its terminal network to meet the demands efficiently.
