Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.[Regnum] Russia has become Pakistan's main grain supplier, supplying almost half a million tons of products in March and thereby taking about a 70% share of Pakistani imports. RIA Novosti reported this on April 5with reference to statistical data. At the end of March, Russia supplied 478 thousand tons to Pakistan for a total amount of $139 million, which was a record figure. Thus, the share of Russian grain in Pakistani imports exceeded 70%, although back in 2022 it was 24.6%. In the first quarter of this year alone, the volume of supplies amounted to almost two-thirds of last year’s exports and reached 1 million tons worth $296 million. As Regnum reported, in October last year, Russian President Vladimir Putin, during his visit to Pakistan, held talks with the then acting Prime Minister of the country Anwar-ul-Haq Kakar. During the negotiations, the head of the Russian state noted the readiness of the Russian Federation to fulfill its obligations and stated that Russia has supplied 1 million tons of grain to Pakistan since the beginning of 2023.
