Russian exporters began loading wheat for a 29,500-tonne Arctic shipment via Murmansk as Black Sea attacks disrupted trade. Russian wheat exports fell 38% year on year from July to September, and freight rates on some Black Sea routes more than doubled since mid-July.
Reduced Russian wheat flows and costlier rerouting tighten global wheat supply and support prices, while higher freight raises delivered feed costs for importers.
