# Grain Market Report 28th July - Irish Farmers' Association

> Grain prices rose over the prior ten days after uncertainty over Black Sea port exports, following Russian strikes on the Ukrainian port of Reni on the Danube with 26 port facilities reportedly damaged. MATIF Sep-23 wheat then slipped back through the week to close at €251.50/t on Thursday, down €13.25/t from Monday. Irish feed barley and wheat green prices rose about €15-17/t.

## Why it matters

Port damage and Black Sea export risk support European and global feed grain prices, though the late-week slide in MATIF futures shows the premium is fading.
