  Methodological Note  
This is an explanatory note to be read in conj unction with Kazakhstan's ta bles of its domestic support 
calculation (Supporting Table DS:5) 
1. The volume of wheat being procured under the programme procurement into the state reserve 
is fixed and equal to 500,000 tonnes, according to the Resolution of the Government of the 
Republic of Kazakhstan of January 2006, No. 34 "On Approval of Volumes of the State 
Reserves of Food Grain".  
The volume of procurement of other commodities under the programme procurement to 
support agricultural producers  is not announced.  Also th ere is no established quality 
requirement (based on grades, packaging and et c.) for purchase of the commodities.  Since 
none of the above is applicable, the data fo r "eligible production" of the other commodities 
was based on a total production of a product.  
Because wheat is also being procured under both programmes, the data for "eligible 
production" of wheat under the programme procurement 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. 
2. The data used in calculations of external reference prices fo r fresh bovine meat, lamb and raw 
cotton were obtained by calculations:  
a) External reference prices for fresh bovine meat and lamb.  
Specialized organization "Mal Onimderi Kor poratsiyasi" (the Corporation on Animal 
Products) acts on behalf of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan as an agent for 
procurement of livestock products.  It purchases fre sh (chilled) bovine and lamb meat 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 fo r 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 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. WT/ACC/SPEC/KAZ/6/Rev.4

Lamb (boned cuts)  2007 250,068.9 250,068.9 * 1.6 = 405,111.6 
 
b)  External reference prices for raw cotton 
Specialized organization "Food Contract Corpora tion" acts on behalf of the Government of 
the Republic of Kazakhstan as an agent for proc urement of crops, including raw cotton. It 
purchases raw cotton directly from agricultural producers. 
Kazakhstan neither exports nor im ports raw cotton.  However, it is a net exporter of cotton 
fibre (processed raw cotton). Therefore the "e xternal reference price" of raw cotton was 
calculated on the basis of FOB export prices of cotton fibre. According to the reference output 
standards of the Ministry of Agriculture, 1 tonne of raw cotton produces 330kg of cotton 
fibre.  Thus, calculations of external reference price for the raw cotton look as follows:  WT/ACC/SPEC/KAZ/6/Rev.4
