Ukrainian grain freight rates fell about $1/MT in both coaster and handysize segments as cargo flow seasonally slowed at the end of the 2025/26 export season. A Russian drone hit a Turkish dry cargo vessel near Ukrainian ports, and Ukraine has exported 36 million tons so far versus 40 million a year earlier.
Lower Black Sea freight and a slower export pace reduce landed grain costs, modestly easing pressure on feed grain prices, though attacks on ports add risk.
