Russia will find a substitute for Turkey’s grain market in maximum five months, the Russian Agriculture Minister Alexander Tkachev said.
"We hope to find new market channels for grain and painlessly find substitute for Turkey in the nearest two-three, maximum five months," TASS cited him as saying.
According to Tkachev, Ankara’s decision was unexpected.
Turkey excluded Russia from the list of countries free of duties for imports of agricultural products starting March 15.
