* Food security programme involving state pr ocurement and release of grain at administered prices does not meet the Green Box ( Annex 2, Paragraph 3) conditions. The support is 
thus included under the AMS category (market price support) in the ST DS:5 and is calculated using the difference between the p urchase price and the external reference price. 
Budget outlays spent on this programme (which  are otherwise required to be excluded from the AMS calculations as per paragraph 8 of Annex 3) are reported in the ST DS:1 for 
transparency purposes only.

Grain exporters receive partial reimbursement of transportation costs when exporting grain throug h the Russian Federation or to /through China. The reimbursement is made by the 
Ministry of Agriculture on the basis of the document confir ming that the costs was actually incurred by an exporter.

  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 EurAsEC 
Code for soft wheat other than durum and other than seed.  
 Below is a methodology used to calculate "external reference price" for wheat:

2011 2,465,689 510,109 207 30,333 
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 refe rence 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 
                                               
1 Average annual exchange rate equals to:  
- KZT 147.35/US$ in 2010 - KZT 146.62/US$ in 2011 - KZT 149.11/US$ in 2012  WT/ACC/SPEC/KAZ/6/Rev.14

  As normally fresh meat is more expensive than  its frozen equivalent, price difference was 
calculated as follows: 
Price difference = average import price of chill ed 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 th e standard output, 1 MT of raw cotton produces 
330 kg of cotton fiber. Therefore, "external reference price" for raw cotton was calculated as 
follows:
