Grade 3 milling wheat at world-class spec — bulk supply via the Aktau/Caspian corridor, with alternative origins on request.

We supply bulk milling-grade wheat through established origin networks. The primary shipping route runs through the seaport of Aktau in Kazakhstan — the key logistics hub connecting Central Asia to international maritime routes — with alternative origins available on request. Minimum shipment volume is 10,000 metric tons, making this programme suitable for large importers, grain traders, and milling companies seeking a reliable bulk supply.

Routing

Two Caspian corridors to your destination

The logistics structure offers flexible export routes via the Caspian Sea, ensuring efficient access to global markets. Two primary shipping corridors are available:

  1. Aktau → Caspian → Black Sea → Mediterranean → destination. Grain ships from Aktau across the Caspian, transfers through established transit channels into the Black Sea, then forwards through the Mediterranean to the buyer's port.
  2. Aktau → Caspian → Mediterranean → destination. An alternative route moves cargo from the Caspian basin directly into the Mediterranean logistics network.

Routing choice depends on destination, freight conditions, and port availability. Either corridor runs to international loading and quality standards.

Frequently asked

Buyer Questions

  • What is the minimum tonnage per parcel?

    Minimum 10,000 MT per parcel for bulk wheat. Smaller volumes can be arranged for sample or trial buys on request.

  • Which Incoterms are available?

    FOB Aktau (buyer arranges sea freight), CFR destination port, and CIF destination port. Alternative origins on request, with adjusted Incoterms accordingly.

  • What grade and protein content do you supply?

    Standard offer is Grade 3 milling wheat with 12% protein and 23% gluten minimum, with falling number suitable for milling contracts. Specs are confirmed per shipment via SGS, Bureau Veritas, or Intertek.

  • Can you supply from origins other than Kazakhstan?

    Yes. The Aktau/Caspian corridor is our featured route, but we have established origin networks across CIS and Black Sea regions. Submit your destination port and target volume and we will confirm the best origin for the route.

  • What is the typical lead time from order to vessel departure?

    4–6 weeks from confirmed order to vessel loading in normal market conditions, depending on origin and harvest timing. Post-harvest periods (October–December for the Caspian corridor) usually compress this.
