# Russia-Ukraine rift risks 13pc of global grain exports 27.01.2022 - UkrAgroConsult

> 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.

## Why it matters
