# Black Sea Wheat Export Trends | UkrAgroConsult

> 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. Weak Russian port exports are likely to persist into September.

## Why it matters

Sharply lower Black Sea wheat exports reduce global export availability and support international wheat prices, particularly for buyers reliant on those origins.
