# Grain transshipment at Russian ports fell by more than 50% in 2025

> Grain transshipment at Russian seaports fell 52.7% in the first four months of 2025 to 12.1 million tonnes. Novorossiysk shipments from May 1 to 11 were roughly half of last year's level, as high domestic prices, falling world prices and export duties made exports unprofitable.
