Kazakhstan had a record grain harvest of 29.7 million tonnes and is now facing issues of where to store it, how to transport it, and to whom to sell it. Experts are predicting between 10-13% loss to occur. Trucks to transport grain are at half the needed amount, while storage facilities will be able to store most of the grain. The government is looking to increase exports to other Central Asian countries. The largest cause of the potential loss is the lack of coordination between state and business, as well as a general lack of information on available storage and transportation options.
