Railway cargo transportation between Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan totaled 950,000 tons from January to October of this year. 96% of these cargoes were lost in transit. 

"Modern geopolitical realities lead to a change in the logistics map of the Eurasian space and a change in the direction of cargo flows. The countries of Central Asia have already begun to use the transit opportunities offered by Azerbaijan to ensure access to world markets. Large cargo owners and logistics companies from these countries are increasingly choosing Azerbaijan as a transit route," the subsidiary of Azerbaijan Railways said.

"Cargo transportation in the direction of Kazakhstan increased by almost eight times, from 125,000 tons to 950,000 tons. It can be predicted that this figure will grow by 9–10 times by the end of this year," the company noted. 

Notably, cargo from Kazakhstan to Azerbaijan is transported along two routes: through the Caspian Sea and the Samur-Yalama border crossing on the Russian-Azerbaijani border.
