STORY CONTINUES BELOW THESE SALTWIRE VIDEOSMOSCOW - Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan will try to convince Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin to return to a Ukraine grain export deal that helped ease a global food crisis, when the two leaders meet in Russia's Black Sea resort of Sochi on Monday.
"We play a leading role here," Erdogan's chief foreign policy and security advisor Akif Cagatay Kilic said in an interview on A Haber television channel. Russia and Ukraine are two of the world's key agricultural producers, and major players in the wheat, barley, maize, rapeseed, rapeseed oil, sunflower seed and sunflower oil markets.
To convince Russia to approve the original deal a three-year accord was struck at the same time under which U.N. officials agreed to help it with its own food and fertiliser exports. Russia has also been discussing a Putin initiative to supply up to 1 million tonnes of Russian grain to Turkey at reduced prices for subsequent processing at Turkish plants and shipping to countries most in need.
