Kazakhstan produced 827,800 tonnes of vegetable oil in the first nine months of 2026, El.kz reports citing the Bureau of National Statistics.
The main production volumes are concentrated in East Kazakhstan region, Abai region, North Kazakhstan region and Akmola region, as well as in the cities of Almaty and Shymkent. Vegetable oil production has also recorded growth in previous years.
In January–September 2025, domestic producers manufactured 661,000 tonnes of vegetable oil. During the same period this year, output increased by 166,800 tonnes.
From January to August, Kazakhstan exported 704,700 tonnes of vegetable oil, representing a 39.7% increase compared with the corresponding period last year.
On the domestic market, 176,900 tonnes of vegetable oil were sold between January and August. Production figures cover a nine-month period, while foreign trade and domestic sales data cover eight months; therefore, these figures are not directly comparable.
