Russia considers the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia as variants for a Russian grain hub, Russia’s Minister of Industry and Trade Denis Manturov told TASS on Sunday.

"We consider a few variants," he said. "We began this idea with Egypt, but as the decision there is delayed, we have involved Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Bahrain."
"As yet, there is no final decision with who and how the cooperation will go," he added.
