| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] Russia is finishing work on documents on grain supplies to Africa, the head of the Russian Ministry of Agriculture, Dmitry Patrushev, said on October 6. “We are completing all the documents,” the minister said. He added that free supplies of Russian grain to Africa could begin within a month or a month and a half. President Vladimir Putin said on March 20 that Russia conscientiously fulfills all its obligations to supply food, fertilizers and fuel to African countries. The head of state noted that Moscow is ready to supply fertilizers to African countries for free, but the West does not allow this to happen. At the Russia-Africa summit in July, Putin said that Russia would supply 25-50,000 tons of grain free of charge to countries in particular need of food, such as Burkina Faso, Somalia, Zimbabwe, and Eritrea. Patrushev said at the summit that Russia has tripled its wheat supplies to Africa. In August, the Minister of Agriculture announced that Russia would supply Africa with up to 50,000 tons of grain free of charge. |
