 Zimbabwe receives first free grain shipment from Russia


President Emmerson Mnangagwa would decide what to do with the grain, said deputy agriculture minister.


Zimbabwe's agriculture ministry on Friday inspected the first batch of grain sent by Russia.


Last year, President Vladimir Putin offered free grain to six African countries during a summit in Saint Petersburg, days after withdrawing from a deal under which Ukrainian grain exports were allowed to pass through the Black Sea to reach global markets.


In addition to Zimbabwe, Putin pledged grain to Mali, Somalia, the Central African Republic, Eritrea and Burkina Faso.


The summit was scrutinised as a test of Putin's support in the continent after his Ukraine invasion.
