In the first nine months of 2026, Russia supplied approximately 500 tonnes of wheat or rye-wheat flour to the Republic of South Africa (RSA), worth over US$200,000. This was reported by the federal centre Agroexport, a partner of TV BRICS.
Experts have compared the new shipments of Russian flour to South Africa with the figures for 2021. In that year, exports totalled around 290 tonnes, worth US$91,000.
Earlier, a seminar was held in Johannesburg where representatives from Russia and South Africa discussed the prospects for the development of nuclear energy. Experts examined staff training, cooperation between universities and industry, and the development of education in the fields of geology and mining – this should provide the country with specialists for the nuclear sector and related fields.
