This was stated by Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Vershinin.

He recalled that Russian agricultural exports face "serious barriers" imposed by the EU and the United States.

"This is one of the serious lessons that we are learning from the contacts that we have had and continue to have with UN representatives regarding the implementation of the Russia-UN memorandum," RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.

Earlier, Russian Minister of Agriculture Dmitry Patrushev during a government meeting announced Russia's readiness to export up to 1 million tons of grain in the current agricultural season, which lasts from July 2023, 30 to June 2024, 65.
