#Phytopathology, #wheat, #geopolitics & #Russia: a thread 🧵
-
(1) China just lifts restrictions on imports of Russian wheat if used only for processing purposes. This boost to exports was agreed in a deal established... a few days before Ukraine invasion.
(2) The first day of the Ukraine invasion (24 February), an analyst said that China expands market for Russian wheat was “unrelated to Ukraine situation”. Still, this perfect timing suggests that Russia has anticipated the international sanctions.
