Kazakhstan Capital Network reported on September 27 that, according to the data of the National Statistics Committee of Kazakhstan, in the first half of 2020, Kazakhstan's export of lamb to Russia was 342,500 US dollars, a sharp drop of nearly 80% from the same period last year (1.6422 million US dollars). Kazakhstan has no mutton exports to other members of the Eurasian Economic Union. Kazakhstan’s export of live sheep (sheep and lamb) to other countries of the Eurasian Economic Union has almost zero. The export volume has dropped from 250.6 tons in the first half of 2019 to 0.8 tons in the same period in 2020, and the export value has dropped from 395,100 US dollars to 1,000 US dollars.

During the statistical period, Kazakhstan's mutton imports from the Eurasian Economic Union countries fell by nearly half. import volume dropped from 15.1 tons in the first half of 2019 to 8.1 tons in the same period of this year, and imports fell from US$123,300 to US$54,100. In the first half of 2020, Kazakhstan imported only 12 tons of live sheep from Belarus at a value of US$2900.

In the past three years, global mutton prices have continued to increase, reaching US$5,000/ton. It is expected that mutton prices will continue to increase in the next ten years. Sadierbayev, chairman of the Kazakhstan Sheep Industry Association, believes that Kazakhstan's development of mutton production and export of mutton has high economic benefits.
