# Logistics disruptions keep Ukraine wheat exports at low levels, union says

> Ukraine's wheat exports remained extremely low in February, with only 27,000 tonnes shipped out of 700,000 tonnes contracted as of the union's report. Port blackouts from Russian strikes and competition with corn for loading slots are limiting throughput, and APK-Inform cut its 2025/26 Ukrainian wheat export forecast to 14.5 million tonnes from 16.7 million.
