Creation of Grain Hub in Egypt is on Decision-Making Phase: Russia's Deputy FM

"This initiative is already the subject of in-depth discussions," said Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Georgy Borisenko.

The Egyptian Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reclamation and the Ministry of Supply and Internal Trade are in contact with the Russian side, he indicated in an interview, expressing hope for a swift resolution.

ℹRussia is Egypt's main supplier of grain, covering approximately 80% of its wheat needs, he said.

This step follows the discussions that took place during a meeting on April 2 between the Russian president and the Egyptian Foreign Minister, Badr Abdelati.
