He explained that it is difficult to answer the question about the amount of Russian fertilizers exported as part of the food initiative, since commercial structures are involved in trade facilitation.
“So we don't follow every sale.
We are trying to eliminate the blocks that exist in certain areas, but we do not have a monitoring mechanism, ”RIA Novosti quotes Dujarric.
The representative of the UN Secretary General forwarded the questions to the countries receiving Russian fertilizers and the Russian authorities.
Earlier, the Russian Foreign Ministry said that Russian fertilizers for poor countries are blocked in European warehouses.
Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia Sergei Vershinin noted that the Russian side has not yet decided whether to extend the grain deal.
The UN called for ensuring the access of Russian fertilizers to world markets.
