Russia: We Agreed With Türkiye On The Grain Plan For Africa
Russia announced that Turkey approved in principle the plan to transport Russian grain to poor African countries via Turkey with the financial support of Qatar. Russia’s plan includes sending 1 million tons of grain to Turkey at a discounted price and transporting it to African countries after processing there. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Aleksandr Grushko noted that an agreement has been reached in principle regarding the plan, and that in the near future, all parties will start working on the technical details of the shipment. President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan also expressed a positive opinion regarding the plan he brought to the agenda after Russia suspended the Black Sea Grain Corridor agreement in July, but Turkey gave the message that the priority was the re-activation of the Black Sea Grain Corridor agreement. Russia suspended the agreement, which was brokered by Turkey and the United Nations (UN) in July last year, citing obstacles to its own grain and fertilizer exports
