This was reported by the press service of the Kremlin.

“The current state of affairs in the global food market is considered in detail.

Vladimir Putin drew attention to the systemic mistakes made by a number of countries, which led to the disruption of the entire architecture of free trade in food products and provoked a significant increase in their value.

It is noted that illegitimate sanctions against Russia have exacerbated the already difficult situation.

“The same factors had a negative impact on the global energy market.

At the same time, the head of state stressed that Russia has been and remains a reliable producer and supplier of grain, fertilizers and energy carriers, including to Indian partners,” the report said.

Earlier, Putin called the imbalance in the food market a consequence of the policy of the West.
