Rising Russia-Ukraine tensions could disrupt up to 13% of global corn and wheat exports, with Ukraine supplying about 12% of world wheat export needs. Ukraine has shipped 16.7 million tonnes of wheat this season, and 7.5 million tonnes face non- or delayed delivery risk in a conflict.
Russian exports could also be hit if Black Sea ports are paralysed or Russia is cut from SWIFT.
A tight wheat balance sheet combined with possible loss of Black Sea supply would push importers toward EU, US, Argentine and Australian wheat, supporting global wheat and corn prices.
