Kazakhstan wheat production is likely to decline by 2 million tonne to 13 million tonne in 2017-18 (Sep-Aug) as acreage under wheat is expected to fall. The country wheat exports, however, are seen slightly higher in 2017-18 at 7 million tonne against 6.8 million tonne in 2016-17 due to an increase in closing stocks. As on Jun 1, Kazakhstan had 5.6 million tonne stock of wheat, compared with 4.3 million tonne a year ago.
