Malawi is considering importing Kazakh wheat, a move that could give Kazakhstan its first recorded wheat market in sub-Saharan Africa after years of sales concentrated in North Africa.
The move comes despite expectations of strong wheat production and export volumes in the 2025-26 marketing year.
Wheat exports are forecast at 10 million tonnes, up 300,000 tonnes from the prior FAS forecast.
The two-day event, organised by APK Inform Asia and RDL Group, is expected to bring together global grain traders, logistics specialists, processors, financiers and agribusiness leaders.
Kazakhstan’s wheat exports are forecast to fall to 8.6 million tonnes, down 1.6 million tonnes year-on-year.
