Algeria Dumps France, Turns to Russia | Firstpost Africa | Subscribe to Firstpost
Algeria, which historically relied heavily on France's wheat, has now barred French companies from a wheat import tender. Algeria’s state grains agency recently conducted a tender and purchased over 500,000 metric tonnes of wheat. No French firm was allowed to participate in the tender. The North African nation, in fact, had a specific request that the participating firms should also not offer French-origin wheat. Algeria is one of the world's biggest wheat buyers and for years, it has remained dependent on France for imports. But it is now turning to Russia for its wheat needs. Algiers’ purchases of Russian wheat are about to reach 3 million metric tonnes. Algiers has given no explanation for why it's ditching Paris and turning to Moscow. However, the move is seen as a response to a diplomatic feud over the disputed Western Sahara. Watch for more details.
