AEGIC economist Ross Kingwell says Ukrainian grain exports remain constrained and the upcoming summer crop could be the smallest in twelve years. Before the 2022 invasion Ukraine exported over 60 million tonnes of grain annually, about 10% of world trade, and the 2022 grain deal restored exports near pre-war levels before its collapse.
A small Ukrainian harvest and constrained exports would tighten global wheat and corn supplies and support prices, especially in Asian import markets.
