Kazakh grain exports to Russia have been halted on the orders of the Kazakh agriculture ministry, the state railway company said on Thursday.
Russia said this week it has effectively banned the import and transit of Kazakh grain on phytosanitary grounds, which some exporters viewed as retaliation for Kazakhstan's earlier ban on Russian grain imports.
