Malawi to get 20,000 tonnes of Russian fertilizer
Malawi is the first country to get 20,000 metric tonnes of Russian fertilizer which the World Food Program has sought from the Dutch government.
Minister of Agriculture Sam Kawale has confirmed that the Dutch government is releasing a consignment of 20,000 tonnes of Russian fertilizer that had been stuck in Rotterdam port due to sanctions, following a request from the United Nations.
The shipment, due to be sent to Malawi via the World Food Programme, next week, will be in the country after 30 days.
Although grain and fertilizer do not fall under European Union sanctions “the fertilizer in question was frozen because a sanctioned individual is involved with the Russian company that owns it,” says a statement from the Dutch Foreign ministry.
The Dutch Foreign Ministry declined to identify the Russian company or sanctioned person involved.
The U.N. first requested the shipment to be released in late October.
“The decision to release the fertilizer was made on the understanding that the UN would ensure that it is delivered to the agreed location, Malawi, and that the Russian company and sanctioned individual will earn nothing from the transaction,” the ministry statement said.On Nov. 1, Russia’s TASS news reported that Russian fertilizer producer Uralchem-Uralkali is prepared to donate 240,000 tonnes of fertilizers stuck in EU warehouses on humanitarian grounds, with a first shipment destined for Malawi”
