| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] In Russia, for the first time, a procedure for coloring a batch of wheat for grain export to countries where the relevant requirements are imposed was carried out. This was reported by Rosselkhoznadzor. On January 28, in the port of Vysotsky in the Leningrad Region, specialists from the St. Petersburg branch of the Federal State Budgetary Institution "Grain Quality Assessment Center" for the first time dyed wheat for shipment to Morocco. The total weight of the batch was 28 thousand tons. As the department explained, grain coloring is a new service of the Federal State Budgetary Institution “Grain Quality Assessment Center”. It is noted that each country sets its own requirements for the quality and appearance of products. For example, Morocco and Saudi Arabia have special requirements for the coloring of grain. Most often, coloring is used to identify grain intended for animal feed. When dyeing, special dyes are used that strictly comply with safety and quality standards. To meet Morocco's requirements for identifying feed wheat, the dye E-142 (green) was used. This is a natural product that guarantees the complete safety of the product. As reported by Regnum news agency, Russia will continue to provide humanitarian aid to the Central African Republic (CAR), including wheat supplies, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on January 16. Kazakhstan will not extend the previously introduced restrictions on the import of wheat from Russia and has resumed imports from January 1, 2025. This was reported by the Eldala.kz portal. Putin said in September that the country's projected grain harvest in 2024 was 132 million tons, up from 148 million tons the year before. Domestic consumption is expected to be up to 90 million tons. According to the head of the Ministry of Agriculture Oksana Lut, the country will be able to export up to 60 million tons of grain this year. |
