260 thousand tons of fertilizer News about donations from Russia to Africa. Last Minute AFRICA, Netherlands, Russia headlines and events

Russia transferred 260,000 tons of fertilizers to African countries. The UN statement said that manure already in European ports would be transported to African countries.

Commenting on the matter, United Nations spokesman Stephane Dujarric said: “This donation will help reduce people’s needs and prevent large crop losses in Africa, where the planting season is now underway.”

Dujarric said that following the decision, a ship with the first 20,000 tons of fertilizer left the Netherlands for the African nation of Malawi. It aims to deliver fertilizer to countries like Malawi and Mozambique within a month.

A UN spokesman said fertilizer supplies would continue in the coming months.

Due to the sanctions imposed after the Russian war against Ukraine, there were problems with the export of fertilizers from Russia. UN officials also note that fertilizer prices around the world have risen by 250 percent since the outbreak of COVID-19 in 2019.

The World Food Program claims that half of the food produced by developed and developing countries depends on the use of fertilizers.
