On January 22, a three-month ban on the export of potatoes and carrots was put into force in Kazakhstan. But the farmers were able to convince the interdepartmental commission to still open exports within the established quota. This was reported Kairat Bisetaev, head Union of potato and vegetable growers of Kazakhstan.
“Still, after the intervention of the Minister of Trade, I managed to personally participate in the meeting of the Interregional Commission. A decision has just been made to replace the ban on potato exports with quotas for 144 tons of marketable potatoes in the period from February to April. They also allocated a quota for 57 tons of potato seeds for the same period,” said Kairat Bisetaev.
He also said that restrictions on the export of carrots were completely lifted by the decision of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
