Ukraine moves to take Russia’s spot in Nigeria’s grain market

Ukrainian government has disclosed that it will set up grain hubs in Nigeria and other African countries amid decline in importation of wheat from Russia in Africa’s largest economy.

Ripples Nigeria had reported that Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022. The war between both countries has affected the oil and grain markets.

On Wednesday, during the visit of Ukrainian Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food, Mykola Solskyi, to Nigeria, the Eastern European country said Nigeria will become one of its grain hub.
