Russia has kept its promise and completed the delivery of 200,000 tonnes of grain free of charge to six of Africa's poorest countries, Agriculture Minister Dmitry Patrushev told Putin during a meeting on Tuesday.Such a generous decision was made after the Turkey and UN-mediated Black Sea Grain Initiative, which provided for a humanitarian corridor for the export of Ukrainian grain last year, expired in late July last year and Russia did not renew its participation in the deal because the agreement's component on facilitating Russian grain and fertilizer exports had not been fulfilled and most of the supplies ended up in rich European states instead of poor countries in Africa.However, still wanting to help the continent, Russia announced the continuation of free grain supplies directly to African countries.Check out Sputnik Africa's infographics to learn which countries received the grain and how much each nation got!
