The economist called the first shipment of grain along the Arctic route to Morocco a "test" that will show how profitable such logistics are. Leonid Kholud, an expert in the field of food policy, doctor of economic sciences, spoke about this on the radio station "Moscow Speaks". There we are talking about 3.5 thousand tons, for grain this is a small volume. Murmansk is a good port without ice, it is a good gateway to Northern Europe. Any good port should be used under conditions of blocking the main trade route of the Black Sea Moss. But you have to fit in with the current prices in the world. Morocco needs grain, these are our friends, but it is unlikely that they will buy more than the market price. So we'll have to see how much it costs. Such a small party is working to check this corridor. If Murmansk continues to serve as a grain port, then it will be necessary to build an expensive and complex shipping infrastructure there. It's complicated. In the past, Russia used the Arctic route for the first time to export grain to Morocco. The decision to use an alternative logistics corridor was made against the backdrop of shipping difficulties in the Black Sea, writes Reuters.
