African countries are extremely interested in reviving the Black Sea grain initiative, which will be a chance to strengthen food security on the continent, Fares Habbache, professor of economics at Ferhat Abbas University, Algeria, told Sputnik.Lifting sanctions on Russian grain exports will solidify Russia's position as Africa's primary food supplier, he said, recalling Russia's 2024 donation of 200,000 tonnes of grain to several African nations. Russia and the US agreed to revive the Black Sea Initiative after Putin-Trump talks, ensuring safe navigation, banning military use of commercial ships, and conducting vessel inspections. The deal hinges on fulfilling conditions, including the removal of sanctions from Russia's Rosselkhozbank.
