# Russia's seaborne grain exports drop in Oct - Markets - Business Recorder

> Russia's seaborne grain exports fell to 2.8 million tonnes in October, down 55.8% year-on-year, as drone attacks brought shipments via southern ports to a near-standstill. Exports via Baltic and Arctic terminals rose sharply to 1.72 million tonnes, but capacity remains insufficient to offset the loss of southern ports.

## Why it matters

Losing Black Sea outlets tightens Russian wheat and feed grain supply to world markets, supporting international wheat and corn prices while the rerouted volumes carry higher logistics costs.
