  ANNEX 1 
Methodological Note 
This is an explanatory note to be read in conj unction with Kazakhstan's tables of its domestic support 
calculation (Supporting Table DS:5) 
1. The "external reference price" for agricultu ral commodities is based on customs value of 
exported and imported products  provided by Kazakhstan's Customs Statistics on Foreign 
Trade.  
 Kazakhstan was a net-exporter of wheat w ithin the period 2007-2011; therefore the 
calculation for the period in question was based on export prices.  
 The Customs Statistics provides various import-e xport data for HS commodities at the 2, 4, 6 
and 10-digit levels. Taking into account that the whea t variety in question is soft wheat except seed, 
the calculation of the reference price was made  using data on 10-digit HS EurAzEC Code for soft 
wheat other than seed . 
 Kazakhstan calculated "external reference pr ice" for soft wheat using import data on soft 
wheat other than seed  for exports to all destinations, includi ng CIS countries. Thus, the calculation of 
external reference price for wheat looks as follows:

US$ Export 
price,

price,

Other spelt, except for soft 
wheat and meslin seed All 
countries 2007 5,309,433 975,693 184 22,520 
2010 4,299,574 773,313 180 26,502 
2011 2,465,689 510,109 207 30,333 
*Average annual exchange  rate equals to:  
- 122.55 KZT/US$ in 2007 
- 147.35 KZT/US$ in 2010 
- 146.62 KZT/US$ in 2011 
 Taking into account the existing WTO practices, the fixed external reference price of wheat 
for future notifications would be the simple fixed ex ternal reference price in 2007-2011, in particular 
– US$190 per tonne (KZT 26,452 per tonne).  
2. The volume of wheat procured under the programme procurement into the State reserve  is 
fixed and equal to 500,000 metric tonnes (R esolution of the Government of Kazakhstan, 
No. 34 "On Approval of Volumes of the State Reserves of Food Grain" of January 2006).  
 The volume of wheat and other commodities under the programme procurement to support 
agricultural producers  is not announced.  In addition, ther e are no established quality requirements 
(based on grades, packaging and etc.) for purchase of these commodities.  Since none of the above is 
applicable, the data for "eligible production"  for the other commodities was based on a total 
production of a product.   WT/ACC/SPEC/KAZ/6/Rev.8 
 Page 35 
 
 
   Because, wheat is also being procured unde r both programmes the data for "eligible 
production" of wheat procured to support agricultura l producers is based on the total production of the 
product minus the volume of wheat procured for State reserve, i.e. 500,000 tonnes. 
3. The data used in calculations of external re ference prices for fresh bovine meat, pork and raw 
cotton were obtained by calculations:  
(a) External reference prices for fresh bovine meat and pork.  
 Specialized organization "KazAgroProduct" (former -"Mal Onimderi Korporatsiyasi" 
(the Corporation on Animal Products)) acts on behalf  of the Government of Republic of Kazakhstan 
as an agent for procurement of livestock products. It purchases fresh (chilled) bovine meat and pork 
directly from agricultural producers. 
Kazakhstan is a net importer of meat.  Thus, in accordance with Paragraph 9 Annex 3 of the 
Agreement on Agriculture, the data for external refe rence price of meats was based on import prices.   
Quantity of importation of fresh (chilled) meat  into Kazakhstan is ne gligible.  Kazakhstan 
mainly imports frozen meat.  Therefore the "externa l reference prices" could not be based on data on 
imported fresh (chilled) meat.  
"External reference prices" were calculated on the basis of price difference between imported 
chilled and frozen meat.  The reference prices for each year were calculated with the use of the 
following formula: 
External reference price = coefficient * average import price of frozen meat 
Since normally fresh meat is more expensive th an its frozen equivalent, coefficient indicating 
the price difference looks as follows: 
Coefficient = average import price of chille d meat/average import price of frozen meat 
Because practically there was no importation of chilled meat to Kazakhstan, calculation of 
coefficients is based on import data of the Russian Federation.

(b) External reference prices for raw cotton 
Specialized organization "Food Contract Corpora tion" acts on behalf of the Government of 
Kazakhstan as an agent for procurement of crops, including raw cotton.  It purchases raw cotton 
directly from agricultural producers. 
Kazakhstan neither exports  nor imports raw cotton.  Howeve r, it is a net exporter of cotton 
fiber (processed raw cotton).  Therefore, the "exter nal reference price" of raw cotton was calculated 
on the basis of FOB export prices of cotton fiber.  Ac cording to the reference, output standards of the 
Ministry of Agriculture, 1 tonne of raw cotton produc es 330 kg of cotton fiber.  Thus, calculations of 
external reference price for th e raw cotton look as follows:  WT/ACC/SPEC/KAZ/6/Rev.8
