PARIS, March 29 (Reuters) - Global grain trader Viterra
is planning to stop grain trading in Russia, the world's largest
wheat exporter, Bloomberg News reported on Wednesday, citing
people familiar with the matter.
This comes after Russia said U.S. trading giant Cargill had
told the agriculture ministry it would stop exporting Russian
grain from the start of the next exporting season, which begins
on July 1.
Viterra was not immediately available to comment.
Most international grain traders have been scaling back
their activities in Russia since last year following Moscow's
invasion of Ukraine.
Viterra, part-owned by Switzerland-based mining and trading
giant Glencore , is one of the largest exporters of
Russian wheat.
