Official: Ecuador in talks over buying Russian wheat

VIENNA, Jun 4 (PRIME) -- Ecuador is discussing purchases of Russian wheat, Pedro Merizalde-Pavon, cochairman of a Russian-Ecuadorian trade commission, told reporters Thursday.

“We want to buy wheat from Russia. I discussed this issue in Moscow two weeks ago,” he said.

He said it was too early to speak about volumes of supplies.

At present, Ecuador buys wheat from Canada, but is viewing Russia as a possible supplier due to good relations with the country, the minister said.
