# Kazakhstan increases linseed exports by 62%, shifting shipments toward China

> Kazakhstan exported 100.9 thousand tons of linseed in September 2026, up 61.7% year on year, with China taking over 70% of the volume. Shipments to Poland, Belgium and Germany fell sharply, while Afghanistan and Uzbekistan increased purchases. Russian Railways reportedly rejected Kazakh linseed transit applications to Baltic ports in October, and those restrictions could persist through November and December.

## Why it matters

Rerouting linseed toward Asia and away from Europe tightens European meal and oil availability while adding to Chinese demand, which is supportive for linseed meal prices. Higher transport costs on alternative routes via Belarus and Lithuania raise the delivered cost of Kazakh supply.
