Kazakhstan, Astana, Feb. 3 / T. Nurmagambetov /
Kazakhstan needs roughly 15,000 carriages to export 1 million tons of grain each month and implement its export plan, Agriculture Minister Asylzhan Mamytbekov said at a meeting on Friday.
"Kazakhstan needs 15,000 carriages to export 1 million tons of grain each month," he said.
There are 5,200 carriages in the country. Kazakhstan is the largest grain exporter in the world. A record grain harvest of almost 27 million tons in net weight was gathered in 2011. However, the republic has had problems with grain storage and export due to a lack of
carriers.
