"Wrapping up the 2023-2024 season, North African countries accounted for 22.6% of Russian grain exports," Agroexport quoted Eduard Zernin, chairman of the board of the Russian Union of Grain Exporters, as saying during a panel meeting.
This includes 1.1 million tonnes of grain exported to Tunisia, three times the value recorded in 2022-2023. The share of Russian wheat in Tunisia's imports increased to 39% in 2023, reaching 40% in the first months of 2024, according to Agroexport.
