Kazakhstan aims to become one of the top three global sunflower oil exporters by 2028, according to Agriculture Minister Aidarbek Saparov.
At a recent government meeting, Saparov said that the industry targets $1 billion in annual revenue by 2028 and seeks to rank among the top three global suppliers of sunflower oil.
The ministry has developed a new industry roadmap designed to boost the oilseed sector. The plan calls for scaling up production and making fuller use of existing processing capacity.
According to Saparov, Kazakhstan has harvested approximately 700,000 tons of oilseed crops so far this year, with a record 4 million tons of oilseeds expected by the end of the season.
