wheat

This week, Ukrainian food wheat in the Romanian port of Constanta has increased in price.

The market is reacting to the threat of a new escalation of the Russian-Ukrainian war and the risks of disruptions in grain supplies from the Black Sea region.

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.

In ports, food wheat fell in price to $202–209/t, feed wheat to $188–199/t CPT-port.

Since the beginning of the 2025/2026 marketing year, Ukraine has exported over 36.86 million tons of grain and leguminous crops.

The Russian invaders claim that since the beginning of the year they have exported 88.8 thousand tons of wheat from the Mariupol port on 12 ships.

Ukraine has fully used the quota for wheat exports to the EU, which is distributed within the annual volume.

The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) has raised its global wheat production forecast for the 2026/27 MY to 820.06 million tons.

Egypt will refuse grain exported by the Russian Federation from the occupied Ukrainian territories, and at the same time is interested in increasing grain imports from Ukraine.

If the current dynamics continue, the monthly volume of shipments may amount to only about 600 thousand tons.
