"Stopping the supplies to Iraq stems from the fact that the local Rosselkhoznadzor shut down us access. Also affected exports to Vietnam and Iran. In Iran, in particular, we continue to put corn, oil crops, but not wheat. This is due to the decision of this country to stimulate its own production," — said Arkady Zlochevsky.
He drew attention to the fact that Russia has alternative ways of grain sales to foreign markets.
"Today we are working on a joint project with Azerbaijan to build a railroad to Iran. This will open up the possibility of making deliveries by rail, not only in Iran but also in neighboring countries", — said the President of the Russian grain Union.
He added that there is an opportunity to bring a railway to Turkey, however, there is the problem area 70 km long on the territory of Georgia.
"Some say if you finish building a railway to Turkey, it will not work, as in Turkey near the border there are no railroads. But really, in this country engage in direct distribution of goods by trucks from the border. So if you hold back a railway track, the supply of grain will be cheaper", — said Arkady Zlochevsky.
