# Russian rapeseed oil increases pressure on Kazakhstan’s oilseed market

> Kazakhstan imported more than 6,000 tonnes of Russian rapeseed oil in January–August 2026, a fourteenfold increase year over year and a new record. Kazakhstan also suspended Russian sunflower seed imports in October after farmers linked cheaper inflows to falling domestic seed prices, while Russian oilseed surpluses and shipment constraints are pushing more products toward export markets.

## Why it matters

Growing Russian oil and oilseed flows add competitive supply to Kazakhstan’s market and can pressure local oilseed prices. Kazakhstan’s sunflower-seed import suspension may limit that pressure for sunflower specifically.
