One of the main panel seats of the third Russia-Africa Forum was dedicated to the issue of the continent's food security. As emphasized by the chairman of the African Union Commission, Mahmoud Ali Youssef, African countries currently import food worth more than 100 billion dollars a year. To increase food and agricultural production, Africa needs structural changes. Russia plays an important role in the growth of agricultural production on the continent, with a special role being assigned to the mineral fertilizer sector. The head of the Russian Union of Fertilizer Manufacturers, Andrey Guriev, emphasized that over the past 10 years, Russia has increased its supply of mineral fertilizers to African countries by 2.5 times. In the first six months of the year, the supply increased by another 15%, and by the end of the year the supply may reach a record level of almost 3 million tons. "Every third ton of fertilizers that African countries import is produced in Russia," Andrey Guriev emphasized.
