S&P Global estimates Russian wheat exports at about 32.5 million tonnes and Ukrainian exports at about 11.5 million tonnes for 2026-27, with Black Sea restrictions pressuring routes and freight costs. The analysis says continued export limits through June 2027 could cut Russia's 2027-28 wheat output from 85.8 to 78.4 million tonnes, with spring wheat area falling about 20%.
Expected longer-term supply losses from Black Sea restrictions and higher alternative-route costs point to firmer wheat prices ahead, as the lost production would tighten global exporter supplies beyond the current marketing year.
