Russia to send wheat for tests to Iraq soon – state trader
Russia is also working on opening of Japanese market for its wheat.
Russia will send wheat for tests to Iraq soon, Kseniya Bolomatova, deputy chief executive at state-controlled grain trader United Grain Company (UGC), told a conference in Moscow on Wednesday.
Iraq said in November that the country had over 5 million tonnes of strategic wheat reserves from its local crop, enough to last for a year.
Russia, one of the world’s largest exporters of wheat, is also working on the opening of a Japanese market for its wheat, Bolomatova added.
UGC said in a separate statement that Russia plans to organise a visit by Japanese flour millers to discuss the issue in the summer of 2021 – subject to COVID-19 travel restrictions.
