Russian Deputy Prime Minister Aleksey Gordeyev has suggested creating an organization of grain exporters similar to the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).
The offer to create an OPEC-type organization for grain exporters aims to ensure "the stability of the grain market, coordinate grain prices, and solve the problem of world hunger," according to a statement from Gordeyev's press service.
The idea was raised during Gordeyev's meeting with German Minister of Food and Agriculture Julia Klockner and Minister-President of North Rhine-Westphalia Armin Laschet. They met on the sidelines of ANUGA-2019, the international trade fair for food and beverages, in Cologne.

President Vladimir Putin said recently that the country has ensured its independence on the global wheat market. Russia's enormous natural resources should serve as a guarantee for high-quality food production and should be used specifically to increase the production of organic, non-GMO food products, Putin said.
The president predicted Russia's agriculture exports will double by 2024 to reach $45 billion.
