Russia to Continue Work With UN on Access of Its Food to World Markets, Deputy Foreign Minister Says
12:30 26.09.2024 (Updated: 12:42 26.09.2024) Since 2022, the West has imposed thousands of sanctions on Russia, making it the most sanctioned country in the world. The restrictions aim to limit Russian exports of energy, food, and fertilizer, as well as imports of high-tech products and various manufactured goods. Russia has reoriented its export flows to countries in the Global South.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Vershinin affirmed the country's readiness to continue work with the UN on access of its food products to world markets.
"Naturally, we will continue this work, because for us, food security, food security of developing countries, countries of Asia, Africa, Latin America, is not an empty phrase," Vershinin told Sputnik on the sidelines of the high-level week of the UN General Assembly in New York.
He pointed out that the authorities proceed from the fact that Russia's potential in terms of export of food and fertilizers to the world market is extremely large.
Russia maintains dialogue with the UN on the issue and considers itself a major guarantor of food security in the world, the deputy foreign minister added.
"Unfortunately, over two years of joint work [with the UN], no significant results have been achieved," Vershinin said.
Recent reports show that Russia's
wheat export volume reached the highest figure in modern history and jumped by 15% year-on-year. And moreover, Russia planned to ramp up agricultural production by 25% and exports by 50% by 2030.
