The fertilizer was produced by Russian company Uralchem but was held in European warehouses and ports after war broke out.<\/p>\n<p>Uralchem Representative Dmitry Shornikov said at the event that his company is committed to supporting Malawi\u2019s agriculture sector. He expressed hope that the fertilizer will be used for intended purpose.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFertilizer is the first step to food security and we believe that unhindered access to food is a human right. Today\u2019s unprecedented hunger crisis in many parts of the world can only be alleviated by urgent and collective action on all levels. As one of the world\u2019s largest producers and exporters of fertilizers, we understand our special role and responsibility in securing food supply to those who need it most,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The Government of Russia was represented at the event by its Ambassador to Malawi Nikolai Krasilnikov. Malawi Minister of Agriculture Sam Dalitso Kawale (MP) and representatives of the United Nations\u2019 World Food Programme (WFP) were also at the event.<\/p>\n<p>The delivery of the fertilizer to the landlocked country in Southeast Africa was done in close cooperation with the WFP, which chartered a vessel to transport the fertiliser from the Netherlands to Mozambique, from where it was brought to Malawi by land.<\/p>\n<p>The shipment is the Group\u2019s first humanitarian consignment from the European Union to Africa. It\u2019s also a part of Uralchem-Uralkali\u2019s commitment to donating approximately 300,000 tonnes of mineral fertilisers to developing countries.<\/p>\n<p>Malawi is one of the counties that have benefited from the donation despite the Lazarus Chakwera administration\u2019s support for Ukraine in the war. Last year, Chakwera urged Russia to withdraw its forces from Ukraine and he called on President Vladimir Putin to use his country\u2019s might and means to find a peaceful resolution to grievances.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/malawi\">Malawi<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Malawi.
