Ankara to supply 1 mln tones of Russian grain to Africa

Turkey has offered increasing this volume to Russia as there are many countries in need of food in Africa, Turkish President added

 Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has confirmed that Ankara’s aim is to work together with Russia on supply of 1 mln tons of Russian grain to African countries.

“Much more grain should be supplied to African countries, to countries in need. I have had negotiations with [Russian President Vladimir] Putin and we set a task of supplying 1 mln tons of grain to poor African countries,” he told a forum in New York.

That said, Turkey has offered increasing this volume to Russia as there are many countries in need of food in Africa, Erdogan added.
