MOSCOW, (Reuters) - Russian fertilizer producer Uralchem-Uralkali Group has sent a humanitarian shipment of fertilizers to Zimbabwe, the company said on Monday.

The humanitarian shipment, amounting to 23,000 tonnes of fertilizers, is the fourth such delivery to Zimbabwe, Uralchem-Uralkali said, adding that it intends to cumulatively transfer about 300,000 tonnes of mineral fertilizers to developing countries.

The fertilizer donation program is implemented by Uralkali in cooperation with the United Nations World Food Programme and is aimed at overcoming the food crisis in countries at such risk, the Group said.
