Kazakhstan Newswire Nursultan reported on August 7, according to the Ministry of Agriculture Kazakhstan guarantees, Kazakhstan added 78 flaxseed producers and 8 wheat flour manufacturers to export China. So far, the number of enterprises that have been approved to export flaxseeds to China has reached 103, of which 78 are guaranteed by the Ministry of Agriculture of Kazakhstan; the number of enterprises that have been approved to export wheat flour to China has reached 94, of which 64 are guaranteed by the Ministry of Agriculture of Kazakhstan.

In April 2019, during the second “Belt and Road” International Cooperation Summit Forum, the Ministry of Agriculture of Kazakhstan and the General Administration of Customs of China signed the "Protocol on Phytosanitary Requirements for the Export of Kazakh Wheat Flour to China." In September 2019, during Kazakhstan's President Tokayev's visit to China, the Ministry of Agriculture of Kazakhstan and the General Administration of Customs of China signed the "Protocol on Plant Quarantine Requirements for Kazakhstan Flaxseed Exported to China". The signing of the "Protocol" provides the possibility for Kazakhstan wheat flour and flaxseed producers to enter the Chinese market.

In recent years, the enthusiasm of Kazakh farmers to plant flax has continued to increase. The reason is that flax is cheap and easy to plant, and the price of linseed is much higher than wheat. Kazakhstan's linseed output and the number of production enterprises have increased significantly. In just a few years, Kazakhstan has become one of the main exporters of linseed and linseed oil, exporting large amounts to European and Asian countries every year. China is one of the main export destination countries of Kazakhstan flax products.
