Ukraine exported nearly 17.5 million tonnes of corn in January–October 2026, up 26% year-on-year, worth $3.77 billion. Turkey, Italy and Spain were the main buyers, while October shipments alone fell by a factor of 3.3 from a year earlier.
Strong cumulative shipments show Ukrainian corn has moved out so far, but the sharp October drop signals that port disruption is now curbing flows, which can support nearby corn prices for importers.
After 481 past neutral trade events, Corn moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (54% higher; middle half -1.1% to +1.6%), and +0.7% over 20.
