ASTANA, KAZAKHSTAN — Wheat flour from Kazakhstan, sold under the Eurasian Legacy brand, has entered the US market with 50 tonnes shipped and plans for over 100 tonnes monthly under a strategy for promoting the Central Asian nation’s products in the United States. The shipment is an initiative of QazTrade, a single export development operator under the Kazakhstan Ministry of Technical Infrastructure. In addition to online sales, negotiations are underway to supply the flour to restaurants, coffee shops and local food chains, QazTrade said. If permanent contracts are established, QazTrade said it plans to organize regular deliveries of over 100 tonnes of flour monthly in the US market, where demand for natural and certified grain products is traditionally high. In addition to flour, Aldazharov said Kazakhstan has launched sales of buckwheat, granola, talkan, chocolate and cocoa in the United States with partners in New York City; Chicago, Illinois; and Washington, DC.
