Azov Sea port throughput rose 8% in 2020, with grain about 40% of volume. In early 2021 calls fell 20% and throughput dropped 8.7% to 19.2 million tonnes, mainly because grain handling was reduced by new restrictions.
Lower grain handling at Azov ports reflects restricted Russian grain movement, which tightens near-term export availability, though the port head expects full-year volumes to match 2020.
