exports via the black sea for another two months. the existing deal was arranged last july to tackle a global food crisis caused by russia s invasion of ukraine one of the world s top grain exporters. it was due to expire today, thursday. arnaud petit, executive director of the international grains council says the extension is vital for many countries food security. you re right, it is very important to have this extension, particularly for north african, sub saharan african countries, which would import much more grains that we have seen in the past season, so really it s good news for them that they can already plan some buying contract with producers in ukraine and also in russia. and important, as you say, about russia because there maybe is a tendency to think that russia is just blocking those exports from ukraine, but this is also good news for russia, isn t it? indeed, both ukraine and russia exported 70 million tonnes of wheat during the current season and we ex
welcome to the programme. the un secretary general, antonio guterres, has been in kyiv today hoping to shore up a deal struck that was between ukraine and russia in the summer to allow for the export of grain from both countries. the agreement, which was brokered in turkey and is overseen by the un, must be renewed by 18 march, but there s concern, moscow will refuse to renew it. the deal also aimed to facilitate the export of russian food and fertilisers. moscow says those shipments are still being disrupted by us and european sanctions. exports of ukrainian, as well as russian food and fertiliser are essential to global food security and food prices. i want to underscore the critical importance of the rollover of the black sea grain initiative on 18 march, and are working to create the conditions to enable the greatest possible news of export infrastructures through the black sea, in line with the objectives of the initiative. this really matters. ukraine is one of the to
Translation i would like to iterate our principal position, we will be ready to consider the possibility of reviving the grain deal, i told the president about it today and we would do it right away.

To discuss whats at stake im joined by arnaud petit, council. Are you disappointed they could not Reach Agreement to day . There are considerations like financial transactions, we know that now it and cannot be happening just in well the Russian Agricultural Bank be recon
