🇷🇺🌍 Russia supplied nearly 14 million tonnes of food to Africa in the first nine months of 2026 From January to September 2026, Russia exported 13.9 million tonnes of food products to African countries, worth US$3.7 billion, according to the Federal Centre for the Development of Agricultural Product Exports (Agroexport). 📈Compared with the same period in 2025, exports increased by 6% in volume and 9% in value. Africa accounted for 23% of Russia's total agricultural exports during this period. Egypt, Sudan, Kenya, Nigeria and Morocco were the continent's largest importers of Russian agricultural products. While grain remains the backbone of Russia's agricultural exports to Africa, there is considerable potential to expand supplies of other products and agricultural technologies, including seeds, vaccines, fertilisers and crop protection products. The Third Russia-Africa Summit, held in Moscow on 28-29 October, provided an important platform for advancing cooperation in agriculture, agricultural technology and professional training. ✍️ Among the agreements signed on the sidelines was a trilateral Memorandum of Understanding between Agroexport, the Timiryazev Russian State Agrarian University and the Tanzania Private Sector Federation, aimed at aligning Russian educational expertise with the needs of Tanzania's agricultural sector. 🤝 Russia remains committed to strengthening food security and expanding mutually beneficial agricultural cooperation with African countries. #RussiaAfrica #RussiaWithAfrica
