A new milestone for state rail operator Kazakh Railways (KTZ), which is now also shipping to Africa. The operator sent a first batch of grain to Morocco via the port of Liepaja in Latvia.<\/strong>
\n<\/span>KTZ sent 105 wagons with grain from Kazakhstan’s northern regions to Latvia. From there, the grain is making its way over to Morocco. The rail operator plans to send 17 trains with grain to the North Africa kingdom, for a total of 60,000 tonnes.<\/p>\n

It is not the first time that KTZ is finding destinations far and wide. Earlier, it sent non-raw material freight across the Atlantic to Houston, Texas. \u201cIn this shipment, KTZ Express provided a full range of transport and logistics services, including the organisation of the first mile, cargo insurance, provision of containers and preliminary declaration. This event became an important milestone, confirming the readiness of KTZ Express to provide reliable and high-quality service in any route direction, which opens up new opportunities for Kazakhstani manufacturers to enter world markets\u201d, the company commented at the time.<\/p>\n
