Russia is ready to expand work on supplying fertilizers to global markets, said Russian President Vladimir Putin, APA reports citing Urdupoint.

"I know that the work is underway, the work is going quite well, despite the artificial obstacles created by some countries. Only world markets suffer from this, as I understand it. We are ready to expand this work with all partners without any exception," said Putin said at a meeting with Dmitry Mazepin, the head of Uralchem, one of Russia's largest producers of mineral fertilizers.

The leader slammed the blockage of fertilizers' supplies to countries in need which Russia was ready to provide for free as unacceptable.

Additionally, Putin approved Mazepin's idea entailing that the UN and the African Union will unblock about 260,000 tonnes of fertilizers, which the company is ready to supply free of charge.
