Abstract
The goal is to assess the current state of the market for grain and its processed products, to determine the features of its functioning and prospects for further development. Methods - economic, statistical and analytical, which made it possible to identify main trends taking place in grain products subcomplex of the country, draw up a balance of resources, as well as the use of grain and grain products. Results - in the process of studying this problem, it was indicated that as a result of reduction in the own products volume, the resource part of the balance of grain and its use for the analyzed period decreased. It was determined that grain market in Kazakhstan is exportoriented. The analysis indicates a high level of self-sufficiency in grain crops and products of their processing in the republic. It has been determined that grain industry fully meets the needs of the domestic market, thereby contributing to the increase in the level of food security of the country. The negative tendency of reducing production volume and export of flour has been clarified. The presence and relevant use of grain processing facilities are analyzed. The authors note a significant excess of the potential possible processing volume over the actual indicators. Information on the export of flour in the context of exporting countries is presented. The assessment of the export potential of grain market has been carried out. The emphasis is made on the fact that Kazakhstan has a significant reserve of grain and flour exports. Conclusions - measures of State regulation of problems in logistics system, transportation of raw materials and flour, as well as directions of effective support for the development of milling industry, market infrastructure are proposed, including based on the principles of public-private partnership.
