Russia will supply at least 5-5.5 million tonnes of wheat to Egypt this year and will increase agricultural goods imports from the North African country, Russian President Vladimir Putin told reporters after meeting with Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi.

Egypt is ready to increase agricultural goods exports to Russia by 30 percent and is discussing the creation of a free trade zone with the Moscow-led Customs Union of Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan, Putin added.

In the previous 2013/14 marketing year, Russia supplied 3.6 million tonnes of wheat to Egypt.

    And Australia sends Rice to China …
    But I don’t think the Zoo animals are going to be happy with Figs and Dates on the ‘exchange’. 😉

    Are the Itinerant Egyptian workers still going to Jordan to harvest their wheat?
    I imagine the Syrian and other refugees are eating most of that crop. Maybe they can harvest too.

    Putin will want to send to Assad, of course, because there’s nothing much growing there,

    Some doors close while new ones open. In Putins case, he smashes it open.
