  ANNEX 1 
Explanatory note on Kazakhstan's tables on  domestic support calculations (ST DS: 5). 
1. "External reference price" for each agricultural product is based on data of customs value 
of exported and imported products provided by Kazakhstan's Customs Statistics on Foreign Trade.  
With regard to wheat, as Kazakhstan is a wheat exporter, the calculation for 2010-2012 is based 
on export prices. Taking into account that the wheat variety in question is soft wheat except, the 
calculation of "external reference price" is made using data on 10-digit HS EurAzEC Code for soft 
wheat other than durum and other than seed.  
Below is a methodology used to calculate "external reference price" for wheat:

2012 6,928,106 1 484 145 214 31 942 
 
Taking into account the existing WTO practices, the fixed external reference price of wheat for 
future notifications would be average of external reference price in each year for the period 2010-2012, in particular – US$ 200 per tonne (KZT 29,592).  
2. The volume of wheat procured for State reserve for food security purposes is fixed and 
equals to 500,000 metric tonnes (Government Resolution No. 34 "On Approval of Volumes for the 
State Grain Resources" of 13 January 2006).  
The volume of wheat and other agricultural products procured to support agricultural  producers is 
not announced. There are also no established quality requirements (based on grades, packaging and etc.) for such procurement. Therefore, "eligible  production" equals total volume of production 
for each product line.  
Due to the reason that wheat is purchased under both types of procurement, "eligible production" 
of wheat acquired to support agricultural producers is based on the total volume of production from which the amount procured for State reserve for food security purposes is deducted, i.e. 
500,000 metric tonnes. 
3. Method used for calculation of "external reference price" for fresh bovine meat, pork and 
raw cotton is described below:  
(a) "External reference price" of fresh bovine meat and pork.  
The Government through its agent "KazAgroProduct" implements state procurement of livestock 
products, including fresh meat directly from agricultural producers.  
Taking into account that Kazakhstan is a net importer of meat, "external reference price" was 
based on import prices. For the reason that Kazakhstan mainly imports frozen meat, the total 
volume of country's imports of fresh (chilled) meat is negligible. Therefore, "external reference

  price" for fresh meat was calculated using a price difference between frozen and chilled meats as 
follows: 
 
External reference price = price difference * average import price of frozen meat 
As normally fresh meat is more expensive than its frozen equivalent, price difference was 
calculated as follows: 
Price difference = average import price of chilled meat / average import price of frozen meat 
Taking into account that practically there were no imports of chilled meat to Kazakhstan, price 
difference was calculated using import data of the Russian Federation.

(b) "External reference price" of raw cotton. 
Taking into account that no raw cotton is exported from or imported to the territory of Kazakhstan, 
"external reference price" for raw cotton was calculated using FOB export price of cotton fiber (primary processing). According to the standard output, 1 MT of raw cotton produces 330 kg of 
cotton fiber. Therefore, "external reference price" for raw cotton was calculated as follows:
