“Today we’re talking about luck, which in dry year has helped us to maintain and grow a decent crop. Now the main thing – not to miscalculate and sell it at a reasonable price “, – told the North Kazakhstan growers to the correspondent of IA” Kazakh-Zerno”.
The drought in 2012 forced farmers to be nervous. The threat of failure in the North Kazakhstan fields hangs in the middle of the summer season and continued to play on the nerves of farmers until the beginning of harvest.But now the moral damage is compensated by material. Growers now sell grain at prices around 40-43 thousand tenge per ton, and near-term prospects are more than encouraging.
“But in the whole Kazakhstan there is little grain. Therefore, the prices will rise further, what will wait almost every farmer, not burdened by large loans, debts and leasing “- explain the farmers.
By 2013, according to farmers, cost of a ton of wheat will rise to 50 thousand tenge, and it is not the maximum. Farmers recognized that for grain traders, selling domestic products for export, such a change in the pricing policy is not profitable, and “golden” Kazakhstanian grain with such a price can stay without demand.
However, it will not change the situation at the moment. “Now in agriculture prices are on par with European, and we want them to be unchanged for 5-10 years”, – said North Kazakhstan growers.
