  ANNEX 1 
Methodological Note 
This is an explanatory note to be read in conjunction with Kazakhstan's tables of its domestic 
support calculation (Supporting Table DS:5) 
1. The "external reference price" for agricultural 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 within the period 2007-2011; therefore the calculation for 
the period in question was based on export prices. 
The Customs Statistics provides various import-export data for HS commodities at the 2, 4, 6 and 
10-digit levels. Taking into account that the wheat 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 price" for soft wheat using import data on soft wheat 
other than seed  for exports to all destinations, including CIS countries. Thus, the calculation of 
external reference price for wheat looks as follows:

volume, 
tonne Export

US$ Export 
price, 
US$/tonne Export 
price, 
(KZT/tonne) 
1 2 3 4 5 6( 5/4) 7

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 external 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 (Resolution of the Government of Kazakhstan, No. 34 
"On Approval of Volumes of the State Rese rves 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, there 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.9 
 
- 31 - 
 
  Because, wheat is also being procured under both programmes the data for "eligible production" of 
wheat procured to support agricultural 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 reference price of meats was based on import 
prices. 
Quantity of importation of fresh (chilled) meat into Kazakhstan is negligible.  Kazakhstan mainly 
imports frozen meat.  Therefore the "external 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 than its frozen equivalent, coefficient indicating the 
price difference looks as follows: 
Coefficient = average import price of chilled 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 Corporation" 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.  However, it is a net exporter of cotton fiber 
(processed raw cotton). Therefore, the "external reference price" of raw cotton was calculated on the basis of FOB export prices of cotton fiber. A ccording to the reference, output standards of the 
Ministry of Agriculture, 1 tonne of raw cotton produces 330 kg of cotton fiber. Thus, calculations of 
external reference price for the raw cotton look as follows: 
Year Export price for cotton fiber (KZT) Calculation of external reference price for raw cotton
