A ship with a humanitarian cargo of 23,000 tonnes of fertilizers sent by the Uralchem fertilizer producer group for Zimbabwe arrived at the port of Beira in Mozambique, the port said.
The shipment was loaded onto a ship in the ports of Riga (Latvia) and Ghent (Belgium). From Beira, the fertilizers will be transported by land to Zimbabwe.
To help alleviate the "unprecedented" global food crisis and prevent agricultural setbacks in countries facing the threat of famine, Uralchem Group has pledged to provide around 300,000 tonnes of mineral fertilizers to developing countries, the company announced in late December.
Since the end of 2022, Uralchem Group, a Russian fertilizer company, has successfully delivered more than 134,000 tonnes of fertilizers to the continent.
In cooperation with the World Food Program, over 111,000 tonnes of this volume have already been transported from European ports and warehouses to Nigeria, Kenya, Malawi, and Zimbabwe.
