The UN no longer buys Russian grain for poor countries

The UN World Food Program stopped buying Russian grain and flour for poor countries.

Thus, Russian companies have been restricted in their access to tenders for the supply of food for the UN WFP, rossMI reports.

Russia has been a supplier to the UN WFP for the past 20 years. The program buys food for poor countries.

Goods for which Russian origin is indicated in the application (Russians are obliged to do this) are not allowed. Some invitations to tenders have stopped coming to Russian suppliers altogether.

In recent years, Russian agricultural products accounted for up to 20% of all deliveries within the UN WFP. This was due to the fact that Russian grain was 10-15% cheaper than other grain.
