Egypt’s Minister of Agriculture Essam el Fayed headed to Russia’s Moscow on Thursday to hold cooperation discussions, Youm7 reported.
Fayed is scheduled to meet with the Russian agricultural Minister, the president of the Russian Grain Union, the head of the Russian Federal Service for Quarantine and Veterinarian, the head of the Union of Russian Retailers, and President of the Russian- Egyptian business council.
The visit comes after Russia lifted a temporary ban on imports of Egyptian crops after Cairo committed to take all necessary measures to guarantee the safety of the products exported to Moscow.
Russia temporarily suspended fruit and vegetable imports from Egypt from Sept. 22 after Cairo rejected a Russian wheat shipment.
