Grain

Amid rising shipping risks, Russian wheat, despite its lower price, was not in significant demand at the Algerian tender.

The increase in the supply of the new crop and the suspension of seaport operations have increased pressure on the Ukrainian feed barley market.

Danube ports are increasing grain exports, but their capacities are not enough to compensate for the reduction in transshipment through the ports of Great Odesa.

Targeted Russian attacks on merchant ships in the Black Sea have called into question further sea shipments and forced traders to suspend purchases of agricultural products.

Even if the Danube ports handle only corn, it will take about 11 months to export the projected volume.

Three major Russian grain terminals on the Black Sea have restricted the acceptance of grain delivered by trucks.

Russian officials are proposing to arm ships in the Sea of ​​Azov with machine guns to protect them from drone attacks.

Since the beginning of the 2026/27 marketing year, Ukraine has shipped 2.357 million tons of grain and leguminous crops abroad.

If quarantine organisms are detected in the grain, it will not be allowed for import, and the Ukrainian exporter will be denied a phytosanitary certificate.

Road and rail routes cannot yet compensate for the loss of the sea channel.
