Kazakhstan’s position in the global flour market
On 4 August 2026, Kazakhstan’s Ministry of Agriculture reported that the country ranked second globally in flour exports based on the results of 2025.
The Government also reported record 2024/25 exports of grain and flour totalling 15.3 million tonnes in wheat-equivalent terms. New markets for this broader grain-and-flour trade included Morocco, Algeria, the United Arab Emirates, Vietnam and destinations in Europe.
These figures demonstrate the international reach of Kazakhstan’s grain-processing sector. Buyers should note that the 15.3-million-tonne figure combines grain and flour and should not be interpreted as flour exports alone.

Wheat flour output and processing capacity
A USDA Foreign Agricultural Service report dated 14 July 2026 cited Kazakhstan’s Bureau of National Statistics as recording 2.5 million tonnes of wheat flour production from September 2025 through April 2026.
Kostanay is an important processing region. According to the same report, the region accounted for 30% of Kazakhstan’s grain-to-flour processing and had 35 mills with combined annual capacity of up to 2 million tonnes.
For a B2B buyer assessing a wheat flour supplier, this processing data provides useful market context. Actual product availability, grade, quantity and delivery timing must still be confirmed for each order.

Export destinations and market reach
Combined wheat and wheat-flour exports reached approximately 9.74 million tonnes in wheat-grain-equivalent terms between September 2025 and April 2026, according to the USDA report.
The three leading destinations for those combined exports were Uzbekistan, Afghanistan and Tajikistan. This ranking covers wheat and wheat flour together, not flour alone.
The established regional flows and the Government’s list of newer markets show the wider trade network surrounding Kazakh grain and milled products.
- Uzbekistan
- Afghanistan
- Tajikistan
The 9.74-million-tonne figure is expressed in wheat-grain-equivalent terms and combines wheat with wheat flour; it is not a flour-only export total.

What to request from a Kazakhstan wheat flour supplier
A request for premium flour or bread flour may mean different things to different buyers and suppliers. A precise enquiry helps a flour exporter determine whether the required product is available.
Buyers should request a technical specification and compare measurable product requirements before confirming an order.
- Intended application, such as bread production or food processing
- Required flour grade and target quality parameters
- Order volume, purchasing frequency and preferred packaging
- Destination country, delivery point and requested delivery period
- Required certificates, laboratory reports or origin documents
- Preferred commercial and payment terms

How to compare flour supplier offers
Price is only one part of a flour wholesale decision. Buyers should compare offers on the same commercial basis and confirm what each quotation includes.
Using the same checklist for every flour supplier makes commercial comparisons clearer and reduces misunderstandings during negotiation.
- Product specification, intended use and quantity available
- Packaging format and quotation validity
- Delivery basis, destination and shipment schedule
- Supporting quality and origin documents
- Sampling or inspection arrangements
- Payment terms
06 / Procurement
A practical bulk flour procurement process
A structured process begins by defining the required wheat flour grade and application, then sending the specification, volume, packaging and destination for review. A wheat flour supplier company should respond against those measurable requirements.
Request a written commercial offer, review the technical documents and available sample arrangements, and confirm delivery, inspection, documentation and payment terms before finalising the order.
For recurring bulk flour procurement, state the expected purchasing schedule rather than providing only one total annual quantity.
