As a result, Kazakh grains will become competitive in all the countries of the Near East, due to the fact there will not be the necessity to transport grains through the Baltic ports, and then by sea, suffering large-scale transport costs.

All the way from the port Bayneu (Aktau) to the Persian Gulf takes about 12 hours, noted K.Masimov, Kazinform cites APK-Inform Information Agency.
