Direct transportation of wheat from Kazakhstan to Vietnam without changing containers was implemented 

10-09-2025

A subsidiary of NC Kazakhstan Temir Zholy JSC - Kedentransservice JSC from May to September 2025, together with Fort LLP with the participation of the shipper (NC Food Contract Corporation JSC), organized a  comprehensive transportation of 10 trains with wheat from the northern regions of Kazakhstan.

The delivery route was from the Ak-Kul, Azat, Kokshetau stations through the port of Lianyungang (China) to the port of Haiphong in Vietnam. The total volume of transportation was 17,000 tons of grain.

The key feature of the project was that the transportation was carried out without changing containers in the ports of China. Unlike traditional practice, when railway containers are reloaded into sea containers, the cargo traveled in a single container from the departure station to the final port.

This approach allowed us to maintain high product quality, as well as reduce delivery times by eliminating reloading operations and optimize logistics costs.

This transportation model also proved the high efficiency of modern infrastructure and the potential of Kazakhstan as a key transport hub in Eurasia.

The company notes that the successful implementation of the project opens up new export horizons for domestic agricultural producers in the fast-growing markets of Southeast Asia, where demand for grain is steadily growing.

Kedentransservice plans to scale up its experience and expand the geography of export routes, strengthening Kazakhstan's contribution to global food chains.
