Wheat exports through Ukraine's Black Sea ports nearly halted in August, with some volume redirected to Constanța, where the Sulina Canal is congested. Russian wheat exports in August are expected below 1.8 million tonnes, versus 4.4 million a year earlier, as Novorossiysk terminals remain restricted.
