Foreign Ministry: Russian fertilizers are supplied to countries in need, but the process is slow. Vershinin added that Moscow “does not see any special progress” in the implementation of the memorandum with the UN on the supply of agricultural products to Rommiya.

In November, the diplomat reported that Western countries were buying up cheap grain and then selling it to needy countries with added value. On January 12, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Victoria Abramchenko said that the volume of exports of Russian agricultural products at the end of 2023 increased by 14% in monetary terms.
