Turkmenbashi International Sea Port continues actively receive wheat imports

Turkmenbashi International Sea Port continues actively receive wheat imports, playing a key role in providing the country’s agricultural needs. Cargo arriving from Astrakhan is efficiently distributed between two terminals - the general cargo terminal and the bulk cargo terminal. The general cargo terminal provides efficient unloading and loading services, allowing cargo to move quickly and safely on land. At the bulk cargo terminal, grain crops undergo separation in special grain silos before shipment. The international seaport of Turkmenbashi has 14 modern grain silos with a total capacity of 35,000 m3, which provide optimal storage conditions and humidity control before shipment.

For the August month, more than 12 thousand tons of winter wheat seeds of the varieties “Bezostaya 100” and “Alekseich” were transported, which are included in the rating of the 5 best varieties of leading winter wheat.

In addition to imports, discussions are currently underway with the Russian Federation regarding the transportation of grain crops in transit from the southern regions of the Russian Federation to the Persian Gulf countries and other regions. Wheat is transported using the national fleet vessels “Makhtumkuli”, “Turkmenistan” and “Balkan”, as well as using the infrastructure of the international seaport of Turkmenbashi.
