FAO’s 80th anniversary: how global agriculture changes

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations is marking its anniversary. Over the decades, 194 countries have joined the organisation, and its initiatives are helping to develop agriculture worldwide. In Lesotho, for example, support is being provided to farmers growing potatoes, while in Nigeria investment is being directed into the development of fish-farming operations.

How can a single crop transform the life of an entire kingdom? And which FAO projects is Russia contributing to?

Dmitry Patrushev

Deputy Prime Minister of Russia

"The Kingdom of Thailand is the Russian Federation’s oldest partner in Southeast Asia. Next year, we will celebrate the 130th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations. I hope that we will continue to maintain full-fledged contacts in all areas: political, trade and economic. I believe that our meeting today will contribute to the development of bilateral cooperation between our countries"

Vladimir Putin

President of Russia

"Last year, our trade turnover increased by 12.5 per cent. […] We have repeatedly identified the most promising areas of cooperation: energy, space, agriculture, industrial cooperation, and pharmaceuticals. We attach great importance to developing humanitarian ties, including in culture and education. Of course, our foreign ministries also maintain close and active coordination across international platforms. Indonesia has become a full member of BRICS, which opens up additional opportunities for cooperation, including between Indonesia and the Eurasian Economic Union"

Sergey Tolchenov

Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Russian Federation to the Republic of Indonesia

"In my view, Indonesia, as a full member of BRICS and guided by the priorities of ensuring food security and diversifying its foreign economic ties, is showing a sustained interest in the emerging BRICS agro-industrial infrastructure. Jakarta shares the view that the creation of a grain exchange within this alliance will protect the national markets of the member countries from external interference, as well as ensure fair grain prices and the implementation of long-term contracts, in which Indonesia, as one of the largest grain importers, is extremely interested"

Vladimir Putin

President of Russia

"We have many good plans; much is already being implemented. As I have said before, processes are ongoing, including the construction of the nuclear power plant and the industrial zone project. More than ten major Russian companies have already expressed their readiness to operate in this zone. But there are many other considerations. We can also discuss the creation of a grain and energy hub in Egypt. [...] I have instructed the government to work with Egyptian colleagues on the supply of food products to Egypt, above all our grain"

Maria Zakharova

Director of the Information and Press Department of the Russian Foreign Ministry

"In BRICS, due to the specifics of this format, such work is probably carried out in a broader context. We focus on developing multicultural cooperation in all its fullness and diversity. [...] Much was done during Russia’s chairmanship of the group in 2024, when several dozen vivid and substantive events were organised, contributing to familiarisation with the rich culture of our country, in particular the Russian language"
