# First Ukrainian corn cargo leaves Romanian Black Sea port

> A cargo of over 71,000 tonnes of Ukrainian corn finished loading at the Romanian Black Sea port of Constanta, the first since Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24. Ukraine's sea ports have been blocked, forcing grain exports by rail and through small Danube river ports.

## Why it matters

Rerouting Ukrainian grain through Romania bypasses the blockade and adds some supply to world corn markets, but volumes are small relative to normal seaborne exports, so the price pressure from lost Ukrainian supply remains.
