Kazakhstan and Russia are planning to hold talks on tariffs for the transit of Russian grain. This issue will be discussed at the interregional forum in Orenburg on November 28, Vice Prime Minister of Kazakhstan Serik Zhumangarin said.
Report informs via Kazakh media that earlier the Russian Railway Company appealed to Kazakhstan with a request to reduce the tariff.
“If it is unprofitable for us, naturally, we will not do it. Because our railway is also an economic entity, it earns on transit,” Zhumangarin said.
The tariff for the transit of Russian agricultural products through Kazakhstan has not changed for 4 years, and the volume of transit has increased. Through Kazakhstan, Russia exports grain to the countries of Central Asia and China.
