30.2 million tons of grain through corridor
There is an expectation of 787 million tons of grain production and 794 million tons of consumption for the 2023-24 season in the world, he told Anadolu. "The grain corridor has been extended three times to date," said Ulusoy, also noting that in the last extension, Russia insisted that only 60 days be added to its duration.
At this point, Russia wanted to prevent competition from Ukraine by closing or slowing down the corridor, but its continuation with Türkiye's work and mediation is very positive news for the whole world, he added.Haluk Tezcan, the head of the Turkish Flour Industrialists' Federation , said the country's efforts were important for the rest of the world, especially nations that have difficulties accessing basic food products.
