Almaty, November 6 (Xinhua) — Kazakhstan's national grain operator, Food Contract Corporation, has shipped its first shipment of food wheat to Armenia in 30 years, transiting through Azerbaijan. The Kazakh Ministry of Agriculture reported this on Thursday.
The delivery was made possible by agreements between the leaders of Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan, which allowed transit through Azerbaijani territory to resume.
The lifting of all restrictions on cargo transit to Yerevan was announced at a meeting between Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev in Astana on October 21, 2025. In support of the peace agreements between Azerbaijan and Armenia, Kazakhstan sent a pilot shipment of food grain along the new railway route.
A 15-car train reportedly crossed the Azerbaijani border on Thursday. In just a few days, the Kazakh wheat will arrive at Dalarik station in Armenia.
According to Asylkhan Dzhuvashev, Chairman of the Board of the Food Contract Corporation, the opening of the new transit route is important not only for expanding the export geography of Kazakhstan's grain, but also for developing logistics links between the countries of the Transcaucasus and strengthening trade and economic cooperation.
