Grain

The President of Moldova said that helping Ukraine is more important than the short-term losses of Moldovan farmers.

After the shutdown of three key grain terminals in Novorossiysk, Russia has restricted cargo transportation to the port.

In the first 12 days of August, Ukraine exported only 280 thousand tons of grain and legumes, while last year this figure exceeded 1.15 million tons.

The Ministry of Agrarian Policy expects grain exports to reach 38–40 million tons in the 2026/27 marketing year.

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.
