A total of KZT 11.8 billion (USD 80 million) was spent on export transportation subsidies between end-2009 and 2010, applying to 2.3 million tonnes of exported wheat. The subsidy rate was set at KZT 6 000 (USD 40 per tonne) and covered 2.5 million tonnes of wheat exports. The subsidy was available for wheat transported after 1 September 2011 to China or which transited through Chinese or Russian territory. As in 2009-10, the CTS remained the single operator of subsidised exports.
