Fastmarkets analysis of Ukrainian customs data shows grain exports reached 50.38 million tonnes by June 30, 2024, up 3% year on year. Exports were 17% behind in the first quarter of the 2023-24 marketing year after the Black Sea grain deal came under strain, then recovered.
Steady Ukrainian export flows add supply to global wheat and corn markets, which tends to cap prices. The recovery despite the war shows alternative corridors are working.
