> An Egyptian outlet reports that Black Sea security risks are disrupting shipping and raising transport costs for grain trade. S&P Global estimates Russian wheat exports could reach 32.5 million tonnes against 11.5 million for Ukraine in 2026-27, with Russia seeking Baltic and Caspian routes.

## Why it matters

Lower Russian and Ukrainian export volumes and costlier logistics tighten wheat supply to importers, supporting world wheat prices and shifting trade toward EU and Danube routes. The S&P estimate, if current, indicates a sizeable export gap between the two origins.
