MOSCOW- Russia's agriculture watchdog visited Iraq on Dec. 13-16 and discussed Russian wheat supplies and possible deliveries of other grain crops, the regulator said on Tuesday.

Rosselkhoznadzor said it outlined the main principles regulating Russian grain supplies during the visit, adding that Iraq had welcomed the wheat's high quality for breadmaking.
