Russian strikes on Ukrainian ports this winter have disrupted exports of grain and iron ore, which ship about 90% of Ukraine's exports through maritime routes. Officials said farm export volumes fell last year mainly because of a smaller grain harvest and delayed corn harvesting caused by unfavourable weather.
Reduced Ukrainian port throughput tightens Black Sea wheat and corn supply to importers, supporting FOB prices and favoring competing origins.
