Ukraine intends to participate in a grain terminal project in Nigeria
The Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine and the international company Lagos Free Zone (Tolaram Group) have signed a memorandum of understanding and joint participation in the project of a grain terminal in the port of Lekki (Nigeria).
According to the Ukrainian ministry, the document was signed by First Deputy Minister Taras Vysotsky on the sidelines of the Ukraine Recovery Conference in London.
“The cooperation between the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Lagos Free Zone Company will be aimed at creating the necessary infrastructure to ensure further continuous supply of Ukrainian agricultural products to Nigeria and the entire African continent with the main goal of ensuring food security in the regions that need it most,” the official said.
Vysotsky added that Ukraine’s agricultural sector continues to play an important role in ensuring international food security, especially given the fact that the world’s population is growing.
